  • Publication number: 20160163946
    Abstract: The thermoelectric device includes a first duct housed in a second duct in tightly sealed manner. The first and second ducts extend along a longitudinal axis. The device further includes a thermocouple extending along a transverse axis. The thermocouple is interposed between the first and second ducts which are shaped in such a way that the thermocouple undergoes a compressive stress, in the transverse direction.
