HIGH-TEMPERATURE HIGH PERFORMANCE THERMOELECTRIC MODULE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H01L35/28 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to thermoelectric modules. Essence of the invention is as follows: preferable implementations versions include two-piece (high-temperature part and low-temperature part) cellular structure and segmented N-racks and R-racks consisting of thermoelectric materials in three segments selected by principles of their chemical compatibility or their good quality at various differences of temperatures between the hot and cold sides of the module. Racks comprise metal grids which are partially built in thermoelectric segments for assistance to sustain electric contacts irrespective of considerable temperature variation. The cast cellular structure in preferable versions fixes thermoelectric N-racks and R-racks and provides for them isolation and electric contacts. The high-temperature part of the cellular structure consists of ceramic material capable to be operated at temperatures above 500°C, and the low-temperature part consists of the thermoplastic material with very low heat conductivity.

EFFECT: design improvement.
