Fuel-cooled heat exchanger with thermoelectric device compression

摘要

An apparatus includes an inlet conduit assembly (80) surrounding a gas flow path (26b) and a combustor (34c) arranged downstream of the inlet conduit assembly. The inlet conduit assembly includes a thermoelectric (TE) device (82) configured to convert heat into electrical energy, a gas flow conduit (80) arranged between the gas flow path and the TE device, and a resilient member (86) configured to bias the TE device into contact with the gas flow conduit.
