THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR AND MARINE VESSEL WITH THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric generator capable of efficiently recovering waste heat from an engine 25 for power generation as an electric energy in spite of a simple structure.SOLUTION: The thermoelectric generator 30 comprises: a pipeline 31 for flowing the exhaust gas; and a plurality of thermoelectric units 32 having plate-like thermoelectric modules 33 for generating power by temperature difference between a low temperature side and a high temperature side. High temperature sides of each of thermoelectric modules 33 are heated by the exhaust gas. In the pipeline 31, heat collection fins 46 provided on the high temperature side of each of thermoelectric modules 33 project and a shield 50 as a heat medium guide member for flowing the exhaust gas to each of heat collection fins 46 side, is arranged.
