Abstract :
The results of investigations and development of catalytic heat sources with thermoelectric energy converters have been given. The efficiency of the catalytic oxidizers are about 5+6%. Heat passed through thermobatteries is used for heating, electric energy is used where necessary. Structures and characteristics of such devices with heat power of 1,2,3 kW have been given. Fields of practical applications have been analyzed
