Abstract: A tubular thermoelectric module used primarily as a part of thermoelectric generators, comprising an inner thermal conductor with circular thermopiles embracing the inner thermal conductor, and with strips serving to interconnect the thermopiles; an outer thermal conductor in the form of several sealed taper clamps, each embracing a circular thermopile; and electric insulation units which insulate one thermopile from another and from the inner and outer thermal conductors.

Abstract: A thermoelectric generator comprising a thermoelectric module, means for burning fuel and supplying heat to the module, a cooling system including a hollow radiator filled with cooling liquid and a cooling jacket embracing the module and connected to the radiator by inlet and an outlet pipes, the jacket being inclined towards the inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe having at least one ascending portion, whereby a pressure differential is established that is required for the liquid circulation in the cooling system.
