THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION DEVICE AND ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION METHOD

摘要

A thermoelectric power generation device includes: a that vessel has an inlet through which a first fluid is introduced and an outlet through which the first fluid is discharged; a tubular thermoelectric element that has a flow-through path through which a second fluid having a temperature different from that of the first fluid flows; a pair of flow path members each penetrating a wall of the vessel while being electrically insulated from the vessel; and lead wires. The flow path members are connected to ends of the thermoelectric element. The flow path members each have a conductive portion extending from a connecting portion between the flow path member and the thermoelectric element to the outside of the vessel. The lead wires each are connected to the conductive portion in the outside of the vessel.
