Abstract: A thermal barrier to maintain the temperature of a battery. The barrier includes elements with respectively cold and hot PCM materials, and elements, thermal isolators, arranged at least in case of some between two of the PCM material elements.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to thermal management of the passenger compartment of a vehicle comprising an air conditioner in the passenger compartment, suitable for heating, cooling and propelling air. At least one of the walls limiting the passenger compartment is provided, from the inside towards the outside, with an internal thermal barrier (containing at least one PCM material having a temperature at change of state between liquid and solid between 15° C. and 40° C. and preferably between 17° C. and 35° C., and at least one thermally insulating element.

Abstract: A unit for storing and releasing thermal energy including a plurality of blocks each having a body the lateral walls of which delimit a chamber suited to receiving storage and release elements of PCM type, to be placed in heat exchange relationship with a refrigerating or heat-transfer fluid circulating between the chambers via passages; and elements for the thermal management of the chambers arranged around said chambers and at least some of which include a thermally insulating material and others a PCM.
