Abstract
A thermoelectric module comprises an odd number of thermoelements (1a, 2a, 1b) connected electrically in series and disposed thermally in parallel. The electrical current flowing through a heat exchanger (9) is conducted into the module by metallic members (8a, 8b) and by first and second types of connectors (4a, 4b and 6a, 6b).
