PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To bring each of heating-side and cooling-side plate members, which are provided on both sides of a thermoelectric conversion module to create a temperature difference therefor, in a hermetically sealed container into close contact with the thermoelectric conversion module in a uniformly pressurized state without complexity and increased costs.SOLUTION: In a hermetically sealed container 3 including a circulation pipe 35 through which a heated fluid H is flown and which is disposed on the inside of a housing 30, the housing 30 includes a movable plate part 31 having a flexible deformable part 313 provided on the periphery of an inside rigid part 312. A thermoelectric conversion module 4 is sandwiched between the inside rigid part 312 and an inner plate part 36 of the circulation pipe 35 to be disposed, and the movable plate part 31 is cooled with cooling water W supplied into cooling jackets 53a, 53b provided on the outside of the movable plate part 31. The deformable part 313 of the movable plate part 31 is deformed by an inner pressure caused in the cooling jackets 53a, 53b, so that the inside rigid part 312 is pressurized to contact with the thermoelectric conversion module 4. |
