    摘要: A thermoelectric power generator includes a pipe (7) in which a first fluid flows, and a power generation module (1) including a thermoelectric conversion element (2). The thermoelectric power generator includes a holding member (3, 4) that is in contact with a one side part of the power generation module, such that heat of a second fluid that is higher in temperature than the first fluid transfers to the one side part of the power generation module. The holding member holds the power generation module and the pipe in a heat transferable state, such that the pipe is in contact with the other side part of the power generation module. The thermoelectric power generator includes a heat conductive component (6) interposed between the holding member and the pipe to define a heat transfer course through which heat transfers from the second fluid to the first fluid, at downstream of the power generation module in a flowing direction of the second fluid.

    摘要: A device to trap and remove particulate matter from exhaust of internal combustion engines, without increasing resistance to the flow of engine exhaust is disclosed herein. The system is provided with a single or a plurality of ducts (1 & 2) through which exhaust gases enter tangentially into a hollow chamber (3), causing the gases to spin at high speeds. The spinning gases generate centrifugal force resulting in separation of particulate matter from the exhaust gases. The hollow chamber (3) contains ports (4) and radial projections (5) on its axial surface to allow the separated particulate matter to enter into a trap (6). The particulate matter entering the trap (6) gets stuck to a fine mesh of high temperature resistant porous material that may or may not be electrically charged. The trap (6) is enclosed in a cover (7) that encases the fine mesh which surrounds the ports (4) and radial projections (5). The cover (7) has a single or plurality of ducts (8) connecting the trap (6) to the low pressure area of the rotating gases in the hollow chamber (3) through the port (9) provided at the proximal end of the hollow chamber (3).
