Apparatus of thermoelectric effect for current generation in internal combustion engine vehicles and the like, with recovery of the externally dissipated heat

摘要

The apparatus of thermoelectric effect for current generation in internal combustion engine vehicles and the like, with recovery of the externally dissipated heat, according to the present invention, comprises a thermoelectric generator provided with several Peltier effect elements (9) undergoing heat transfer with a high-temperature fluid originating from the engine and with a cooling fluid, and possessing electrical conductors connected to their ends across which a thermoelectric e.m.f. is generated, said conductors being connected to an electrical user circuit.
