To provide a thermoelectric conversion device that can prevent the outflow of fluid due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the equipment due to the installation of the thermoelectric conversion module, easily collect heat from the fluid of the heat source, and further reduce the heat loss.SOLUTION: A thermoelectric conversion device includes: a thermoelectric conversion module 10; a heat receiving member 30 having a flat surface portion and a fin portion erected on one surface of the flat surface portion, and having the other surface of the flat surface portion closely arranged on one side of the thermoelectric conversion module; a cooling member 20 placed in close contact with the other side of the thermoelectric conversion module; a tubular outer shell member 40 arranged so as to surround the heat receiving member, the thermoelectric conversion module, and the cooling member; a first jig 50 that supports an end of the flat surface of the heat receiving member by sandwiching the end of the flat surface with the outer shell member; a second jig 60 that supports the thermoelectric conversion module by sandwiching the cooling member; and a sealing member 70 arranged between the flat surface portion of the heat receiving member and the outer shell member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】熱電変換モジュールを取り付けたことによる設備内外の圧力差による流体の流出を防止し、かつ、熱源の流体から熱を集めやすく、さらに熱の損失を小さくすることが可能な熱電変換装置を提供する。【解決手段】熱電変換モジュール１０と、平坦面部及び平坦面部の一方の面に立設されたフィン部を有し、熱電変換モジュールの一方側に平坦面部の他方の面を密着して配置された受熱部材３０と、熱電変換モジュールの他方側に密着して配置された冷却部材２０と、受熱部材、熱電変換モジュール及び冷却部材を囲うように配置された筒状の外殻部材４０と、受熱部材の平坦面部の端部を外殻部材との間に挟んで支持する第１の治具５０と、冷却部材を挟んで熱電変換モジュールを支持する第２の治具６０と、受熱部材の平坦面部と外殻部材との間に配置された封止部材７０と、を有する。【選択図】図９
