- thermoelectric module has a structure which is described in DE 10 2005 057 763 Al.
- the thermoelectric module has a plurality of thermoelectric half-elements (or p- and n-doped legs), wherein each half-element is cuboid or column-shaped and the individual elements are arranged in parallel.
- the arrangement is such that half-elements of alternating materials (p- or n-type doped semiconductors) are connected in series.
- At opposite ends of printed circuit boards are attached to the half-elements, which electrically conductively connect a p- and an n-doped leg.
- the circuit boards of each side form a plane in which substantially directly a heat exchanger plate is contacted.

Both the p-doped and the n-doped legs of the individual Peltier elements have different materials whose efficiency is optimized with regard to different temperature values at the contact points of the individual Peltier elements to the heat source.
- Fe-based skutterudites for example Ce 0 .9 Fe 3 CoSbi 2 , or Ybo.75 Fe 3.5 Ni , are used in the p-doped legs.
- 5 Sbi 2 and Co-based skutterudites used in the n-doped legs for example YbyCo 4-x Pt x Sbi 2, or Ba 0 .3C ⁇ 3.95Ni 0 .o5Sbi 2.
- JP 05-299704 A shows a thermo module whose b- and n-doped legs are arranged in pairs V-shaped, wherein the opposite ends of the legs are electrically connected by means of contact elements. To achieve a specific temperature distribution at one end of the legs, these form a gap area which is aligned in a normal manner with respect to the contact elements and which is partially bridged by a connecting element arranged above the middle of the legs.
- the individual legs thus have a complicated shape to produce, with an inclined surface at one end and two an angle of 90 ° enclosing inclined surfaces at the other end (prismatic structure with five-sided base). This shape is not only disadvantageous in production, but also in terms of an inhomogeneous streamline density, as well as an irregular temperature distribution within the legs.

- the electrically conductive contact elements are designed in the form of a double wedge, the two wedge surfaces with the base surface of the contact elements each include an acute angle corresponding to the tilt angle of the individual legs.

- the individual legs on a tilt angle between 5 ° and 15 °.
- the inventive V-position of the individual, cuboid legs whose length can be adjusted by means of the contact elements in the form of a double wedge to a predetermined module height, so that in a simple way tolerance compensation is possible. Due to the omission of a mechanical fine machining of the individual cuboid legs and allowing a length tolerance in the range of 50 .mu.m, with a typical total length of the legs of about 3 to 7 mm, the production can be significantly simplified because after the shaping of the legs (eg Pressing or sintering), a subsequent fine machining can be omitted and any division into length classes is also eliminated or simplified.
- the p- and n-doped legs of a module are arranged in several parallel rows, wherein a balancing contact element in the form of a double wedge with parallel wedge tips is provided for connecting two adjacent rows, the two contact surfaces with the base surface a Include acute angle corresponding to the tilt angle.
- the p- and n-doped leg of a high-temperature module can consist of a ruditen resistant for temperatures above 400 0 C material, for example of Fe-based or Co-based Skutte-.
