Abstract :
This paper introduces a thermoelectric generator that supplies electricity for a heat meter (calorimeter). It is an excellent pollution-free power source produced by utilizing the principle of the Seebeck effect of a special semiconductor, which can generate electricity directly by the hot water inside the heat supply pipes. Inside the generator, there are voltage-stabilizing circuits that can supply stable voltage of direct current. The generator belongs to a solid power source, which can work safely and continuously for long periods without maintenance. Its long-term ratio between the property and price is more advantageous than other usable batteries
