Abstract:
A thermoelectric module may include a plurality of thermoelectric elements electrically connected via a plurality of conductor bridges. A respective conductor bridge, on at least one of a hot side and a cold side of the thermoelectric module, may contact a duct body through which a fluid is flowable. The duct body may have a plurality of recesses in which, respectively, one of the plurality of conductor bridges is arranged. The plurality of thermoelectric elements may be arranged in a joint thermally insulating filling body. The plurality of conductor bridges may be arranged flush with the filling body. The duct body may have a duct base body and a duct cover closing the duct base body and defining a fluid-tight duct therewith. The duct base body may include a plurality of heat transfer elements protruding into the duct body around which the fluid is flowable.

Claim (Index 22):
A thermoelectric generator comprising a plurality of thermoelectric modules electrically connected to one another, each respective thermoelectric module of the plurality of thermoelectric modules including:\n a plurality of thermoelectric elements electrically connected via a plurality of conductor bridges, wherein:\n a respective conductor bridge of the plurality of conductor bridges, on at least one of a hot side and a cold of the respective thermoelectric module, contacts an electrically insulating, thermally conductive duct body through which a fluid is flowable; \n the duct body, on a side facing the plurality of conductor bridges, has a plurality of recesses in which, respectively, one of the plurality of conductor bridges is arranged; \n the plurality of thermoelectric elements are arranged in a joint thermally insulating filling body; \n the plurality of conductor bridges are arranged flush with the filling body on at least one of the hot side and the cold side; \n the duct body has a duct base body and a duct cover, the duct cover closing the duct base body and defining a fluid-tight duct therewith; and \n the duct base body, on a side facing away from the plurality of conductor bridges, includes a plurality of heat transfer elements protruding into the duct body around which the fluid is flowable; \n wherein a respective duct body of at least two thermoelectric modules of the plurality of thermoelectric modules is defined by a section of a joint duct body.
