METHOD OF WORK OF THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H01J45/00 F24J2/42 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: solar cells are effectively cooled by the SC working substance through its upper surface, thereby maintaining a high efficiency of the SAT in a hot time due to the removal of heat from them to the SC working substance. Year-round (including winter) SAT generates a current in the daytime. Further, through the heat transfer bottom of the SC, heat is transferred to the TE2 unit. Three tanks with heat-storage materials having different temperatures ESP T₁, T₂ and T₃ (where T₂>T₃>T₁), with cooling in the cold time of the day, in series, beginning with the upper TAM in the upper tank, the ESP is tested, maintaining the temperature difference ΔT on the TE blocks located between them. Four TE units connected in series perform the functions of a composite thermoelectric battery, increasing the efficiency of a thermoelectric generator. The radiator with a porous capillary substance evaporates atmospheric moisture in the hot time of day, thereby creating a positive (from top to bottom) temperature gradient +ΔT. In cold weather, a porous capillary substance absorbs moisture, creating a negative -TΔ (bottom-up) temperature gradient. In either case, these gradients are used to generate electricity.

EFFECT: increased efficiency, reliability and temperature and time range termojelektrogeneracii in conditions of year-round and 24-hour operation.
