PURPOSE:To improve the utility efficiency of a recovery energy by providing a heat receiver formed by gathering thermoelectric elements opposed to a high temperature article, directly converting thermal energy directly into electric power energy and producing it. CONSTITUTION:A high temperature article 7 such as continuously cast slab in an iron making work is continuously fed on a tape roller group 8, a heat receiver formed by gathering a chalcogenide amorphous thermoelectric elements on the upper and side surfaces is opposed to the article 7 at the heating side 9, and a water cooling jacket 10 is provided on the back surface, thereby producing temperature difference between both ends of the element. The generated electromotive force is produced by a power pickup unit and utilized. Accordingly, the radiation heat from the article 7 can be converted directly to electric energy, and the facility can be therefore simplified, and the utility efficiency of the recovery energy can be remarkably improved. |
