Abstract
The invention relates to a flow control device intended to be used in a thermoelectric generator (), said generator () allowing a temperature gradient to be created between a cold source and a heat source in at least two zones (A, B), characterized in that it comprises a valve (), said valve () comprising a valve body () and a gate (), said gate () being hinged relative to the valve body () and being capable of occupying an open position and a closed position, said valve () being configured to be positioned inside said generator (), between said two zones (A, B), so as to modulate the quantity of a first fluid circulating through said thermoelectric generator (). The invention further relates to a thermoelectric generator () comprising such a device.
