の方法による。Several power generation devices using this power generation principle have been reported so far, and the method for supplying the working medium involved in power generation to the solid electrolyte is one of the methods shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5.

であり、容器１３の周囲に設置されている。FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a conventional power generation device. Here, 1 is a solid electrolyte and 3 is a positive electrode film. 4 and 5 are external terminals, the external terminal 4 is a negative electrode, and the external terminal 6+4 child 5 is a positive electrode. 6 is an insulator, and 7 is a cooling surface. 8 is a pump, and 9 is a flow path for the working medium 11. 12 is a heater, which is installed around the container 13.

1 is supplied from above to the inside of the solid electrolyte 1 by a pump 8 through a flow path 9, and II 8 is the supplied liquid-phase working medium. The working medium 11A is heated by the heater 12.
This is done by The liquid phase working medium 11 heated by the heater 12 passes through the solid electrolyte 1 as ions, is neutralized by the positive electrode 81M3, and then condenses in contact with the cooling surface 7 below the container 13, forming a liquid phase. The working medium 11 is as follows.

There was a problem. Further, since heat transfer is performed by conduction through a liquid-phase working medium or by radiation from the surroundings, there is a problem in that it is difficult to uniformly heat the solid electrolyte. Furthermore, it is difficult to increase the distance between the heating surface for heating the working medium and the solid electrolyte, and therefore there is a problem in that there is little freedom in design.

要な問題点であった。Another important problem when generating power by arranging a large number of solid electrolytes is that it is difficult to electrically connect them in series because the inside of the solid electrolyte and the working medium supply channel are filled with liquid-phase working medium. there were.
本発明の目的は、上述の問題点を解決し、効率良く発電

Further, the movement of heat from the heating surface to the condensing surface, which is the solid electrolyte surface, is uniform because it is performed by evaporation and condensation of the working medium. Furthermore, since the heated working medium evaporates and reaches the solid electrolyte, even if the distance between the heating surface and the solid electrolyte becomes large, both the working medium and heat are quickly supplied to the solid electrolyte. In particular, the degree of freedom in device design is greatly increased.
