Thermoelectric generator to engine exhaust manifold assembly

An assembly (10) for coupling thermally a thermoelectric generator (TEG (12)) to an exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine. The assembly (10) includes a first heat exchanger (14) configured to guide exhaust gas (16) of an internal combustion engine past an opening (23) defined by the firs...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An assembly (10) for coupling thermally a thermoelectric generator (TEG (12)) to an exhaust manifold of an internal combustion engine. The assembly (10) includes a first heat exchanger (14) configured to guide exhaust gas (16) of an internal combustion engine past an opening (23) defined by the first heat exchanger (14), and a heat sink (50) configured to couple thermally the TEG (12) to the exhaust gas (16) and fluidicly seal the opening (23). The assembly (10) is configured so the heat sink (50) is directly exposed to the exhaust gas (16) so that heat is efficiently transferred from the exhaust gas (16) to the TEG (12).
