Abstract:
A heat exchanger for executing heat exchange between heat exchange bodies on a heat radiation side and heat exchange bodies on a heat absorption side, including:said heat exchange bodies on the heat radiation side and said heat exchange bodies on the heat absorption side being disposed alternatively in a parallel relationship; and thermoelectric conversion element modules respectively including a plurality of p- and n-thermoelectric conversion elements, each being interposed between said heat exchange body on the heat radiation side and said heat exchange body on the heat absorption side through an electrical insulating coat, and having a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements; wherein: said electrical insulating coat is formed integrally on a surface of the heat exchange bodies on at least one of the heat radiation side and heat absorption side; and a metal coat keeping electric contact with the surface of said thermoelectric conversion elements on either the heat radiation side or the heat absorption side is integrally formed on said electrical insulating coat.
