Abstract

A thermo-electric installation comprising a first network of hot tubes extending between two ends disposed in parallel relation and in which flows a hot fluid, a second network of cold tubes, extending between two ends, disposed in parallel relation and in a plane parallel to the plane of the hot tubes, and in which flows a cold fluid, thermo-elements mounted between said hot tubes and said cold tubes, at least two mechanical connection structures, called hot structures, connecting the hot tubes together, respectively towards their two ends, these two hot structures being independent of the cold tubes, at least two mechanical connection structures, called cold structures, connecting together the cold tubes, respectively towards their two ends, these two cold structures being independent of the hot tubes, and fixing devices, for firmly connecting together the hot structures and the cold structures, situated at the same end.
