TUBE-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER WITH THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION FUNCTION, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, AND THERMOELECTRIC POWER GENERATION APPARATUS USING SAME

摘要

A tube-type heat exchanger with a thermoelectric power generation function, comprises: an inner tube 4 through which a cooling material flows; a thermoelectric power generation module 5 mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 4; an outer tube 3 mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the thermoelectric power generation module 5; and heat collecting fins 6 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer tube 3, wherein the thermoelectric power generation module 5 performs thermoelectric power generation with the outer peripheral surface of the inner tube 4 as a low temperature source and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 3 as a high temperature source, and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube 3 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the thermoelectric power generation module 5.
