Abstract
A tubular heat exchanger, with a thermoelectric power generation function, includes: a thermoelectric power generation modulemounted on an outer circumferential surface of the heat exhaust tube; and a cooling pipemounted on an outer circumferential surface of the thermoelectric power generation module. The cooling pipeis for allowing a cooling material to flow therethrough. The thermoelectric power generation moduleperforms thermoelectric power generation by using the outer circumferential surface of the heat exhaust tubeas a high-temperature source and using the inner circumferential surface of the cooling pipeas a low-temperature source. The cooling pipeis in tight attachment to the outer circumferential surface of the thermoelectric power generation module
