<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose an improved form of an exhaust system (more preferably, which is characterized by being capable of improving the energy recovery rate). <P>SOLUTION: The exhaust system 1 for a combustion engine 2, more preferably, for a combustion engine 2 for road vehicle, includes at least one exhaust gas lead-out member 3 having an inner wall 4 annularly closed in a circumferential direction 9, the inside 12 of the inner wall 4 being exposed to exhaust gas. The energy efficiency of the combustion engine 2 can be improved by at least one thermoelectric power generation device 8 for converting heat to electric energy, which is disposed on the outside 13 of the inner wall 4. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
