Abstract
A heat exchanger () for an exhaust gas system () of an internal combustion engine () includes a thermoelectric generator () with plural thermoelectric elements () that each have a hot side () and a cold side (). A heating channel () conducts a heating medium on the hot sides and a cooling channel () conducts cooling medium on the cold sides (). The thermoelectric generator (), the heating channel (), and the cooling channel () are arranged adjacent in a stacking direction () and form a channel stack (). A housing () that encloses an interior () accommodates the channel stack () and has medium inlets (), outlets () and electrical connections (). The thermoelectric elements are arranged in a double-walled intermediate bottom () that separates the cooling channel () from the heating channel (), adjacent to said cooling channel, in regard to fluid flow.
