<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a waste heat power generator capable of generating power by efficient waste heat recovery when using a workpiece conveyed on a conveyor as a heat source. <P>SOLUTION: Under a conveying body 2a of a conveyor 2 intended for a workpiece W after hot forging as a conveyance object, a thermoelectric power generation unit 4 is arranged which generates power by recovering heat of the workpiece W via the conveying body 2a. The thermoelectric power generation unit 4 is made up of a heat sink 7, a thermoelectric power generation module 8, a heat receiving plate 9, and so forth. A plurality of rollers may also be interposed between the conveying body 2a of the conveyor 2 and the heat receiving plate 9 of the thermoelectric power generation unit 4, as a heat conductive intermediate member which does not impede the movement of the conveying body 2a while making contact with both the conveying body 2a and the heat receiving plate 9. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
