Claims: What is claimed is:

1. A tubular thermoelectric module comprising an inner thermal conductor; circular thermopiles embracing said inner thermal conductor; connecting strips interconnecting said thermopiles; an outer thermal conductor in the form of a number of taper clamps, each of said taper clamps including an unbroken outer ring and a split inner ring, each embracing a respective one of said thermopiles; and electric insulation units serving to insulate one thermopile from another and from said inner and outer thermal conductors.

2. A tubular thermoelectric module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner diameter of said taper clamps is less than the minimum outer diameter of said thermopiles, said thermopiles being compressible.

3. A tubular thermoelectric module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said taper clamp has an outer ring, said outer ring being made of titanium.

4. A tubular thermoelectric module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said inner ring of said taper clamp is made of aluminium.

5. A module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said taper clamps are sealed with a thin-walled corrugated jacket embracing said taper clamps, the corrugations thereof are fitted into gaps between said taper clamps.

6. A tubular thermoelectric module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the axial sections of said circular thermopiles are shaped trapezoidally on the outer side.

7. A tubular thermoelectric module as claimed in claim 1, wherein said connecting strips are pressed against said circular thermopiles with said taper clamps.
