ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a thermoelectric converter including a series of thermoelectric cells bonded to a hot surface and to a waste heat conductor. The heat conductor is in turn bonded to cooling pipes which have corrugations to prevent the build up of thermal stresses in one direction. Thermal stress is avoided in a second direction, perpendicular to the first, by having spaces located between the thermoelectric cells. The converter can be folded into a compact configuration and is applicable to satellite power systems.
