摘要:
A thermoelectric transducer includes a thermoelectric device assembly and a pair of heat exchanging member assemblies arranged at both sides of the thermoelectric device assembly. The thermoelectric device assembly includes a plurality of P-type thermoelectric devices, a plurality of N-type thermoelectric devices, a first holding plate for holding the thermoelectric devices, and a plurality of electrode members for electrically connecting the thermoelectric devices. Each of the heat exchanging member assemblies includes a plurality of heat exchanging members provided in correspondence with the plurality of electrode members, and a second holding plate located for holding the plurality of heat exchanging members. Each of the plurality of electrode members has an outer periphery that contacts one surface of the second holding plate in a state where the electrode member is connected to the heat exchanging member.

An evaporator has tubes, and evaporates working fluid therein by heat of exhaust gas. A condenser emits heat of the working fluid toward coolant so as to condense the working fluid, and returns the condensed working fluid to the evaporator. A fin for increasing an area for transmitting heat is disposed between the tubes, and is connected to the tubes. The fin has an operation force reducing part for reducing an operation force applied to the fin in accordance with a thermal expansion difference between the tubes. The operation force reducing part is disposed at a midpoint of the fin between the tubes.

A heat exchanger has a flat tube and a header in communication with the flat tube. The flat tube has a flat passage part and a groove part. The flat passage part defines a fluid passage therein. The groove part extends along the flat passage part. An end of the groove part is recessed from an end of the flat passage part in a longitudinal direction of the flat tube. The header has a tube insertion hole having a shape corresponding to an outline of the flat passage part. The end of the flat passage part is received in and fixed to the tube insertion hole of the header.
