る。2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional gas table in a system kitchen of a general household, the energy consumption of a gas burner is set to 4.65 kW or the like, but in reality, a gas flame protrudes from a gas table and cooking utensils.

換気扇Ｊ１１を駆動させるものである。In order to deal with this problem, a method of automatically operating a ventilation fan using waste heat of a gas table has been proposed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-129680. FIG. 5 shows a proposed conventional equipment configuration diagram. According to this proposal, a thermoelectric power generating element J6 disposed near a heat source such as the burner J2 of the gas table J1 is heated by burner combustion heat to use the thermoelectromotive force generated between the terminals of the thermoelectric power generating element as a power source. ,

実用価値が乏しいという知見を得た。However, according to the research by the authors, in the method proposed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-129680, the heat radiation side of the thermoelectric power generating elements J6, J7 is made by the heat radiation fin J8 made of aluminum. Since it relies on natural heat dissipation into the atmosphere and does not use any other positive cooling means, the heat dissipation capacity on the low temperature side is insufficient unless extremely large and high-performance heat dissipation fins are installed. Finding that the power generation efficiency is extremely low and the practical value is poor because the temperature difference that can be actually obtained is extremely small because heat is instantaneously transferred from the high temperature contact of the power generating elements J6 and J7 to the low temperature contact to reach the same temperature.

As a result, a temperature difference effective for thermoelectric power generation is secured. However, there is a problem that it is extremely difficult to obtain substantially effective power generation.

P-type semiconductor T on top of 1a via low temperature side metal electrode T2a
3 and N-type semiconductors T4 are alternately connected in series, and further covered with a ceramic high temperature side insulating plate T1b via a high temperature side metal electrode T2b. With this configuration, the high temperature side metal electrode T2b is heated to a high temperature and becomes low temperature side metal electrode T2.
When a is cooled and radiated to a low temperature, the low temperature side metal electrode T2a
And a high temperature side metal electrode T2b have a temperature difference, and a voltage corresponding to the temperature difference is generated. This phenomenon is called the Seebeck effect, and a direct current flows when the electrical load T5 is connected using both electrodes of the low temperature side metal electrode T2a as terminals.
