Abstract
A hybrid device () comprises, in a first zone (), at least one thermoelectric element () allowing an electric current to be generated from a temperature gradient applied between two of its active faces (). The device () further comprises a first circuit () able to allow the circulation of a first fluid, and a second circuit () able to allow the circulation of a second fluid of a temperature lower than that of the first fluid so as to create the gradient. The device () also comprises a second zone () so as to allow an exchange of heat between the second fluid and the first fluid. The device () is designed so that the first fluid passes through it by travelling in a single direction, referred to as first direction (L), wherein the first zone () and the second zone () are situated in series in the first direction (L).
