Thermoelectric module, thermoelectric power generating apparatus, and thermoelectric generator

A thermoelectric module comprising:

• a low temperature-side member;
• a plurality of low temperature-side thermoelectric conversion elements arranged on a side of said low temperature-side member and made of a BiTe-based material;
• a low temperature-side electrode connecting said plurality of low temperature-side thermoelectric conversion elements electrically in series or in parallel;
• a low temperature-side wiring line electrically connected to said low temperature-side electrode;
• a high temperature-side member opposed to said low temperature-side member;
• a plurality of high temperature-side thermoelectric conversion elements arranged on a side of said high temperature-side member and made of a material different from said BiTe-based material;
• a high temperature-side electrode connecting said plurality of high temperature-side thermoelectric conversion elements electrically in series or in parallel;
• a high temperature-side wiring line electrically connected to said high temperature-side electrode;
• an insulating member sandwiched between said low temperature-side thermoelectric conversion elements and said high temperature-side thermoelectric conversion elements;
• a radiant heat blocking plate arranged between said insulating member and said high temperature-side member, said radiant heat blocking plate being arranged on the side of said high temperature-side member with respect to said low temperature-side wiring line and said high temperature-side wiring line and said radiant heat blocking plate arranged apart from the insulating member and the high temperature-side member;
• and
• a thermal circuit member directly connecting said radiant heat blocking plate to said low temperature-side member and not connecting said radiant heat blocking plate to said high temperature-side member.
