Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiator (1) of the type comprising:
- a first surface (10) adapted to be associated with a hot system (11), in particular to adhere to at least one portion of said hot system (11);
- at least one fin (20) extending from said first surface (10) in a manner such as to increase the area of the radiator (1) that comes into thermal contact with the surrounding fluid.
The invention is characterised in that said radiator (1) comprises conversion means (20, 30) adapted to convert the thermal energy that must be removed from the hot system (11) into electric energy, said conversion means consisting of at least one thermocouple comprising:
- a first conductive element consisting of the fin (20) of the radiator (1), and
- a second conductive element comprising at least one component (30) associated with said radiator (1) in a manner such as to extend within said at least one fin (20),

said at least one component (30) being made of a material having different thermoelectric characteristics, in particular a different Seebeck coefficient, than the radiator (1), in particular than the first surface (10) and/or the fin (20) thereof.
