Abstract
A thermoelectric conversion module includes a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements formed on a first main surface of an inner tube, and a plurality of projections formed on a second main surface of an outer tube. The thermoelectric conversion element includes an interconnection, and an electrode formed at a first distance from the second main surface in a second direction. When the thermoelectric conversion module is seen from a first direction, the projections include a first projection and a second projection formed at a spacing therebetween in a third direction. A shortest distance between a first lateral surface and a top portion of the first projection and a shortest distance between a second lateral surface and a top portion of the second projection are smaller than the first distance.
