Abstract
A heat exchanger for executing heat exchange between heat exchange between heat exchange bodies (6) on a heat radiation side and heat exchange bodies (3) on a heat absorption side, having low thermal resistance and high performance of heat conduction includes heat exchange bodies 6 on a heat radiation side and heat exchange bodies 3 on a heat absorption side, each being disposed hierarchically, thermoelectric conversion element modules 2 interposed between the heat exchange body 6 on the heat radiation side and the heat exchange body 3 on the heat absorption side through an insulating coat 16, and having a plurality of thermoelectric conversion elements 12, 13, wherein the insulating coat 16 is formed integrally on a surface of at least one of the heat exchange body 6 on the heat radiation side and the heat exchange body 3 on the heat absorption side, and a metal coat 17 keeping electric contact with a surface of the thermoelectric conversion elements 12, 13 on either the heat radiation side or the heat absorption side is integrally formed on the insulating coat 16.
