PCT No. PCT/SE97/00296 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 2, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 2, 1998 PCT Filed Feb. 21, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/37587 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 27, 1998The invention refers to a thermoelectric generator unit comprising a plurality of thermoelectric elements (1) of alternately p and n character and electrically series connected by means of metal connector members (2), the elements having essentially cylindrical shape. For securing a drastically improved reliability in the interfaces between the connector members and the respective thermoelectric elements the invention now suggests that said connector members are formed as plates (2), on one side of which are made two substantially semi-cylindrical and parallel seats (3) for thermoelectric elements (1), which connector members are adapted to be placed with said seats (3) facing each other to either side of a row of elements (1) with opposed plates mutually offset one seat width longitudinally of the row so as to form a continuous winding serial path for the generated current, the plates (2) on one side of the element row being adapted to face a heat source while the plates on the opposite side are facing a heat sink. |
