Abstract
A thermoelectric conversion module may include a plurality of n type thermoelectric conversion materials and a plurality of p type thermoelectric conversion materials that are disposed alternately, and a plurality of electrodes that connects the plurality of thermoelectric conversion material disposed alternately on one side and on an opposite side alternately, wherein the plurality of electrodes may include a high temperature side electrode configured to protrude towards a pipe, through which a heat transfer fluid flows, with respect to high temperature side end portions of the plurality of thermoelectric conversion materials and to be inserted into a through-hole formed at the pipe to obtain heat while directly contacting the heat transfer fluid and to transfer the obtained heat to the plurality of thermoelectric conversion materials.
