Patent ID: 8742246

Claim:
A thermoelectric conversion module comprising a module unit, the module unit including: a plurality of P-type thermoelectric conversion elements and a plurality of N-type thermoelectric conversion elements, each of the P-type thermoelectric conversion elements and each of the N-type thermoelectric conversion elements being alternately arrayed and electrically connected in series; a braided wire A constructed by braiding a conductive sheet wire, the braided wire A connecting one end surface of one of the P-type thermoelectric conversion elements and one end surface of one of the N-type thermoelectric conversion elements; and a braided wire B constructed by braiding a conductive sheet wire, the braided wire B connecting the other end surface of one of the P-type thermoelectric conversion elements and the other end surface of one of the N-type thermoelectric conversion elements, the braided wire B being shorter than the braided wire A, wherein each of the braided wire A and the braided wire B is a single-layer braided sheet wire, and each of the braided wire A and the braided wire B is a three-strand braided wire, a four-strand braided wire, a six-strand braided wire, or a plain-stitch braided wire.
