    摘要: The invention relates to a device for converting thermal energy to electrical energy, comprising at least one thermoelectric module (19) which has an outer surface having a hot side (20) for contacting a heat source and having a cold side (22) for contacting a heat sink, wherein the hot side of the thermoelectric module is thermally conductively connected to a heat source, in particular an exhaust channel (11) of a combustion engine. The device further comprises a cooling channel (25) through which a cooling fluid can flow and which is thermally conductively connected to the cold side of the thermoelectric module. The cooling channel has at least one opening to the cold side of the thermoelectric module and is sealed in a fluid-tight manner around the opening with respect to the hot side of the thermoelectric module.

    摘要: An exhaust gas system includes an exhaust manifold, in particular a single-wall exhaust manifold, which includes a plurality of inlet pipes for connection to exhaust gas outlets of an internal combustion engine and a collector device for the combining of the inlet pipes. The collector device has an outlet opening which is connected to downstream elements of the exhaust gas system, wherein the collector device is resistant to bending and the inlet pipes are comparatively flexible with respect to the collector device. The collector device includes an inlet pipe stub which is likewise resistant to bending and which is made for the direct connection to an exhaust gas outlet of an internal combustion engine.
