Abstract
The invention relates to a thermoelectric device, comprising a first circuit (), called hot circuit, through which a first fluid can flow according to a path along which the temperature of said first fluid decreases, and, a second circuit (), called cold circuit, through which a second fluid can flow, at a temperature lower than that of the first fluid, according to a path along which the temperature of said second fluid increases, and elements (), called thermoelectric elements, that can be used to generate an electric current in the presence of a temperature gradient, said thermoelectric elements () being distributed along said hot () and cold () circuits, provided configured to create said gradient. According to the invention, the device is configured for the contribution of the thermoelectric elements to the generation of the electricity to be substantially constant along the path of the first and/or of the second fluid.
