THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR FOR GENERATING AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a thermoelectric device (10), including a first so-called hot circuit, capable of enabling the circulation of a first fluid, and a second so-called cold circuit (2), capable of enabling the circulation of a second fluid at a temperature lower than that of the first fluid, and so-called thermoelectric elements for generating an electrical current in the presence of a temperature gradient generated by the first circuit and the second circuit (2). According to the invention, the first circuit (1) includes so-called hot tubes (8) that are no longer than 150 mm.
