程度にまで高くなることが頻繁に起こる。In the state of the art, devices are known in which a sodium concentration cell is provided at the focal point of a parabolic mirror and are used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. Further, as such a device, there is known a device that uses a Stirling engine having a generator downstream in place of the sodium concentration battery. In addition, a device in which a heat storage device is provided at the focal point of a parabolic mirror is also known. These energy converters are directly connected to the heat accumulator. German patent application P 3,920,012.4 describes a thermo-generator. The generator can be heated to the desired temperature not only by solar energy, but also by one or more combustors operated by fossil fuels. When such a heat source is used, various problems occur in the design of the thermoelectric generator. In particular,
The thermo-generator must ensure performance such as thermo-mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, high absorption, and high thermal conductivity. Above all, combining high absorptivity with other requirements is rather difficult in the design of thermogenerators. In addition, temperatures often become unacceptable or undesirably high as a result of direct flame combustion.

加熱される時に発生するよう汚染物質は除かれる。While catalytic combustion makes it possible to heat the thermogenerator to the desired temperature without problems, it also avoids the disadvantages of the state of the art as described above. In the present invention, the catalytic combustor is connected to the hot chamber of the thermogenerator via a heat exchanger. As a result, particularly high thermomechanical stability and corrosion resistance are unnecessary in the thermoelectric generator. The amount of heat released by the catalytic combustion is independent of its release temperature and can be transferred via the heat exchanger to the thermogenerator without further hindrance. In this case, pollutants are removed in the production of nitrogen oxides, such as those generated when the thermoelectric generator is heated by a fossil fuel operated combustor.

つの集電装置2Eと3Eとの間でタップされる。FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a schematic configuration of an example of an apparatus according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 indicates a thermo-generator. In the example illustrated here, the thermoelectric generator 1 is formed as a sodium concentration cell. The thermoelectric generator 1 has a high temperature chamber 2 and a low temperature chamber 3 as a basic configuration. These two chambers are sealed and blocked from each other by a wall 4 that conducts alkali metal ions. As shown in the figure, one boundary wall of the high temperature chamber 2 is formed by the heat exchanger 5,
A catalytic combustor 6 is connected to the high temperature chamber 2. According to the present invention, the outer surface 5F of the heat exchanger 5 has the catalyst layer 7
Is covered by. The catalyst layer 7 is a black rare earth /
It is formed using perovskite powder. Also,
At the same time, the catalyst layer 7 constitutes a part of the combustor 6. In the combustor 6, the gas or liquid fuel required for combustion is
In the form of natural gas, alcohol, or diesel oil, it is introduced together with air or oxygen for combustion through the pipe 6L and flows on the catalyst layer 7. The gas reaction product generated by the catalytic combustion is discharged to the outside through the pipe 6R. The heat released during catalytic combustion is directly utilized by the heat exchanger 5 to heat the chamber 2 of the sodium concentration cell. The sodium concentration battery 1 contains sodium as a heat transport medium. This sodium evaporates as a result of the heating of the chamber 2, moves through the wall 4 and conducts alkali metal ions into the chamber 3.
Here, since the chamber 3 is usually in a low temperature state, it returns to the moved sodium liquid phase. The sodium then returns from chamber 3 to chamber 2 via a tube and pump (not shown). As a result of sodium ions passing through the solid electrolyte wall conducting the alkali metal ions,
The electric potential has a value between the two chambers 2 and 3. This voltage is tapped between the two current collectors 2E and 3E of the two chambers 2 and 3.
