DEVICE FOR GENERATING CURRENT AND/OR VOLTAGE BASED ON A THERMOELECTRIC MODULE PLACED IN A FLOWING FLUID

摘要

The device for generating current and/or voltage includes means for making a fluid flow between an inlet and an outlet of the device, and a thermoelectric module having a first active surface exposed to the fluid. The thermoelectric module includes apertures, and is placed in the path of the fluid between the inlet and the outlet of the device, the first active surface being substantially perpendicular to the direction of flow of the fluid.
