Abstract
Abstract A thermoelectric generator comprising a thermoelectric module, means for burning fuel and supplying heat to the module, a cooling system including a hollow radiator filled with cooling liquid and a cooling jacket embracing the module and connected to the radiator by inlet and an outlet pipes, the jacket being inclined towards the inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe having at least one ascending portion, whereby a pressure differential is established that is required for the liquid circulation in the cooling system.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A thermo-electric generator comprising: a tubular thermo-electric module formed by a tubular inner heat conductor, a tubular thermo-electric battery enclosing said heat conductor, and an outer heat conductor enclosing said battery; means for burning fuel and applying heat to said inner heat conductor; a cooling system including a hollow radiator in heat-transfer contact with the ambient air, a cooling jacket enclosing said outer heat conductor and forming therewith an annular channel for the flow of a cooling liquid, and inlet and outlet pipes to connect said jacket with said radiator: said cooling system being filled completely with the cooling liquid; said jacket being arranged at an angle to said inlet pipe; and said outlet pipe having an ascending portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A thermo-electric generator comprising: a tubular thermo-electric module formed by a tubular inner heat conductor, a tubular thermo-electric battery enclosing said heat conductor, and an outer heat conductor enclosing said battery; means for burning fuel and applying heat to said inner heat conductor; a cooling system including a hollow radiator in heat-transfer contact with the ambient air, a cooling jacket enclosing said outer heat conductor and forming therewith an annular channel for the flow of a cooling liquid, and inlet and outlet pipes to connect said jacket with said radiator: said cooling system being filled completely with the cooling liquid; said jacket being arranged at an angle to said inlet pipe; and said outlet pipe having an ascending portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The generator as defined in claim 1, wherein said annular channel has an equivalent diameter for the flow of the cooling liquid that is equal to one-fifth to one-tenth of any of the equivalent diameters of said pipes and the space of said radiator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The generator as defined in claim 1, further comprising means for turbulizing the flow of the cooling liquid in said jacket.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The generator as defined in claim 3, wherein said turbulizing means is made in the form of a wire coil.
