A THERMO-ELECTRIC POWER GENERATING MODULE USING A MICRO CHANNEL-TYPE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR

摘要

A thermoelectric power generating module using a micro channel-type catalytic combustor is provided to improve the efficiency of thermoelectric power generation by inducing an increase in temperature difference between high and low temperature sections of a thermoelectric module. A micro channel-type combustor(2) contains a catalytic(3) in a wall thereof. A high temperature section of a thermoelectric module(1) is attached to the other wall of the micro channel-type combustor that is opposite to the wall containing the catalytic. The combustor is divided into a plurality of compartments and configured with a fuel-air mixer supply channel(21) and a combustion chamber(22) which are alternatively arranged with each other. The high temperature section of the thermoelectric module is attached to an inner wall of the fuel-air mixer supply channel. The catalytic is installed in an inner wall of the combustion chamber.
