Device for connecting the active elements in the cluster heat pump method for thermoelectric clusters, make it work, thermoelectric driver based on it, and the generator (deformation) to (deformation)

摘要

The inventions are directed to the production of electrical power and/or heat transfer in heating and cooling devices. All embodiments of a generator and a heat pump are based on a method for operating a thermoelectric cluster, in which the respective heat-transfer agent is caused to directly act on the respective thermoelectric conductors. All of the apparatuses use a device for connecting an active element 1 to thermoelectric conductors 4 and 5, the device comprising an electrically and heat conductive non-solidifying plastic mixture, or a solder having a melting point below operating temperature, or a foil of a ductile metal alloy, wherein the thermoelectric conductor and the active element are resiliently urged against each other. The resulting thermoelectric cluster comprises active elements 1 having the size in the direction of electrical current no less than three times smaller than the size in the perpendicular direction thereto.
