Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for converting thermal energy into electric energy, comprising at least one thermocouple, wherein the thermocouples has two thermobranches (A, B) connected electrically in series and wherein the thermocouple has a first passage surface (F1) and a second passage surface (F) for the heat flow (Q) and / or for the electric current (7, 7'). According to the invention, the value of the first passage surface (F1) is smaller than 5% of the value of the second passage surface (F).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for converting thermal energy into electrical energy using a thermoelectric element according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] In the present invention the conversion from thermal energy to electrical energy is achieved using the thermoelectric effect, in particular the Seebeck and Peltier effects, which are caused by the presence of temperature differences (Seebeck effect), Or conversely a temperature difference is generated (Peltier effect). [0003] Conventional thermoelectric energy generation utilizes a phenomenon known as the Seebeck effect to create a potential difference between two different electrically conducting materials, each having a different electrical and thermal conductivity and being electrically connected to each other at least at one of their ends or voltage, provided that there is a temperature gradient between the interconnected end and the opposite end. Here, the two...
