<p>[Object] Provided is a thermoelectric power generating device that is able to detect an operating state of a thermoelectric conversion module with a simple configuration, thereby improving detection accuracy of the operating state of the thermoelectric conversion module. A thermoelectric power generating device (17) is configured to include: an inner pipe (21) including a bypass passage (25) into which exhaust gas discharged from an engine (1) is introduced; an outer pipe (23) provided coaxially with the inner pipe (21), forming with the inner pipe (21) a heat-receiving passage (22) into which the exhaust gas is introduced, and opposed to a heat-receiving substrate (29) of the thermoelectric conversion module (27); communicating holes (36) provided in the inner pipe (21) and communicating the bypass passage (25) with the heat-receiving passage (22); an opening/closing valve (26) provided in the inner pipe (21) so as to open and close the inner pipe (21); and an actuator (37) performing an opening/closing control on the opening/closing valve (26).</p> |
