Zusammenfassung: | The present invention is to provide a thermoelectric generator which can stably maintain the operation temperature of a thermoelectric generation cell, and can stably maintain generation power and efficiency of the thermoelectric generator regardless of a change in the external temperature. To this end, the thermoelectric generator has a receptor for receiving the thermoelectric generation cell using a variable conductance heat pipe (VCHP) structure or inserts a VCHP into the receptor to constantly maintain or to reduce a change in the temperature of a high voltage unit of the thermoelectric generation cell even if the external temperature changes.
본 발명의 목적은, 열전발전 셀의 동작 온도를 안정적으로 유지하고, 외부 온도 변화에도 불구하고 열전발전장치의 발전 전력 및 효율을 안정적으로 유지할 수 있는 열전발전장치를 제공하는 것이다. 이를 위해, 본 발명에서는 열전발전 셀을 수용하는 수용체를 가변전열 히트파이프(VCHP; Variable Conductance Heat Pipe) 구조로 하거나 또는 수용체에 가변전열 히트파이프를 삽입하여 외부 온도의 변화에도 열전발전 셀의 고압부의 온도를 일정하게 유지하거나 변화가 적도록 하는 것을 특징으로 한다. |
