    摘要: The invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising a first free space (7) for a first fluid (3), a thermally conductive wall (11) which, at least locally, delimits said first free space (7), in such a way that an exchange of heat can occur between the first fluid and the thermally conductive wall (11) which is hollow and encloses a material (13) for storing thermal energy by accumulation of latent heat, by heat exchange with at least the first fluid. The first free space (7) is divided into at least two separated channels (7a, 7b) in which two streams of the first fluid (3) can circulate at the same time but separately, the thermally conductive wall (11) which encloses the thermal energy storage material (13) being interposed between the two channels (7a, 7b).

    摘要: A thermal barrier for helping to maintain a temperature in volumes and/or at least one internal structural component surrounded by the barrier. The barrier has a first component containing at least one phase change material (PCM) that changes its state at a first temperature, a second component containing a PCM that changes its state at a second temperature which is different from the first temperature, and a third, thermally insulating component that is disposed between the first and second components containing a PCM or outside the second component.

    摘要: The invention relates to thermal management aimed at maintaining the temperature inside a space. The proposed assembly includes the space and a device arranged around same, placed in an outdoor environment exposed to a non-constant temperature and including at least one thermally insulating element inserted between the inner space and the outdoor environment and, from the inside towards the outside: an inner heat-storage element made of PCM material and an outer thermal barrier containing several PCMs. The invention also includes a cooling unit for provisionally providing, in the inner space, a charge fluid, at least at a temperature that is different from those of the temperature to be maintained, in heat transfer with the PCM of the inner element, so as to store thermal energy.

    摘要: This concerns a thermal insulation system interposed between a first volume and a second volume to be thermally managed relative to the first volume, the system comprising a series of parts providing thermal bridges between them and which are: arranged on several layers along a thickness and direction passing through the first and second volumes; and/or, transversely to these directions and thicknesses, offset two by two transversely from one said layer to the adjacent layer; and/or engaged at least two by two, transversely to the direction and thickness to force a heat flow generally provided in the direction, along the thermal bridges, to change direction towards an isotherm.
