<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an intercooler that recovers thermal energy contained in compressed air, improves energy efficiency and can efficiently cool the compressed air. <P>SOLUTION: The intercooler 10 arranged between a turbocharger 104 and an engine 106 and cooling the compressed air from the turbocharger 104 comprises: a flow-in chamber 12 into which the compressed air from the turbocharger 104 of the intercooler 10 is introduced; and a thermoelectric element 30 for generating an electromotive force by a temperature difference between a heat absorption face 31 and a heat dissipation face 33. The heat absorption face 31 of the thermoelectric element 30 is made to face the flow-in chamber 12, and the thermoelectric element 30 is made to generate power by utilizing the heat of the compressed air from the turbocharger 104. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
