THERMOELECTRIC BATTERY Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01L35/28 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to thermoelectrical instrument making, particularly to the design of thermoelectric batteries (TEB). The invention concept is as follows: thermal elements branches are arranged inclined in one of the coordinate planes. Branches made from p-type semiconductors are located at the angle opposite to the inclination angle of the branches made from n-type semiconductor. Inclination angle between branches lies within $$\frac{\pi }{18}\le \alpha <\pi .$$ Switch plates shaped as triangular prisms are soldered to the space limited by branch ends of p- and n-types; they have in the central part feedthrough openings parallel to each other and their inner surface is shaped as a dioctahedral star. The openings of all even switch plates and the openings of all odd switch plates respectively are united by dielectric flexible hoses into integrated channels through which heat carrier is pumped in process of TEB functioning.

EFFECT: improved effectiveness of heat elimination from TEB switch plates.
