Abstract: The invention concerns a module (10) for a battery including accumulators (20), a first flange (22C) including first through openings, the accumulators being secured with no gluing in the first openings, first electrically-conductive plates (24C), each first plate being connected to the accumulators of a first accumulator assembly, a second flange (22D) including second through openings, the accumulators being secured with no gluing in the second openings, second electrically-conductive plates, each second plate being connected to the accumulators of a second accumulator assembly, and a package (12) delimiting, with the first and second flanges, first, second, and third chambers containing a dielectric liquid, the first flange including first passages (38C) for the dielectric liquid between the first and second chambers and the second flange including second passages (38D) for the dielectric liquid between the second and third chambers.

Abstract: A solar receiver for a thermal power plant including a plurality of absorber modules, each absorber module including at least one face configured to be illuminated by a solar flux, wherein the modules are arranged side by side forming a paving. Each absorber module further includes its own fluid circuit in which a fluid to be heated by the solar flux can flow, the fluid circuits of the absorber modules being connected to one another.

Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a bundle of plates for a heat exchanger made up of a stack of plates. The method includes reducing by machining the initial thickness of each plate by making at least at the periphery of the plate, at least one connecting shoe having a height greater than the thickness of the machined plate, forming on the central portion of the plate, corrugations, to be superposed pairwise on the plates, connecting the shoes in contact with the plates of each pair through a weld bead, superposing the pairs of plates and connecting the shoes in contact with the pairs of plates through a sealed weld bead by arranging a superposition of open or closed ends for alternate inflow or outflow of said fluid.

Abstract: A solar power tower solar receiver absorber including: an enclosure; at least one panel configured to be illuminated by solar flux; a core made of at least one material with heat conductivity at least partially encompassed by the enclosure; and a plurality of tubes passing through the core and extending substantially in a parallel direction with respect to the panel configured to be illuminated. The tube is configured for circulation of a fluid to be heated, for example a gas for operating a gas turbine.
