Claim:
TEG A thermoelectric generator module comprising a space at least partially delimited by walls, at least one thermoelectric generator comprising a plurality of thermoelectric elements and electrical conductors connected to first and second sides, respectively, of the thermoelectric generator for the conduction of electricity generated by the thermoelectric generator for the conversion of heat into electricity, wherein at least one electrically insulated wall part of the space is in thermally conducting contact with the first side of the thermoelectric generator, and wherein the second side of the thermoelectric generator is in heat-exchanging connection with an electrically insulated discharge element for discharging heat used by the thermoelectric generator, with thermally conducting pressure means for applying pressure to the second side, which thermally conducting pressure means is provided between the second side of the thermoelectric generator and the discharge element and contacting the thermoelectric generator, the thermally conducting pressure means comprising a thermally conducting flexible container, which is filled with a pressure medium in a state of overpressure, wherein the thermally conducting flexible container exerts a uniform force against all of the thermoelectric generator.
