<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric generator that can increase generation efficiency of a thermoelectric conversion module with a simple configuration, thereby preventing an increase in manufacturing costs. <P>SOLUTION: A thermoelectric generator 17 includes an exhaust pipe 21 and a cooling water pipe 24 which are formed in a taper shape along an exhaust direction of exhaust gas G. An upstream part 21a of the exhaust pipe 21 having a large opening diameter and the cooling water pipe 24 are fixed by a bracket 25. A downstream part 21b of the exhaust pipe 21 having a small opening diameter is comprised of a free end that is not fixed to the cooling water pipe 24. The upstream part 21a of the exhaust pipe 21 having the large opening diameter is disposed on the upstream side in the exhaust direction of the exhaust gas. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
