Abstract: A device to store energy includes a phase change material (PCM), with a phase change temperature Tc, contained in a sealed container and constituting a storage core. A source to exchange heat with the PCM, at a temperature TA, to cause a phase change of the PCM. A recuperator to exchange heat with the PCM, at a temperature TB, to cause a phase change of the PCM in the opposite direction to the phase change produced by the source. A controller to control the heat flows between the PCM, the source and the recuperator. An apertured support in contact with the PCM in the sealed container and in thermal contact with the source and the recuperator.

Abstract: A climatic system includes a climatic apparatus and a local network, in particular wireless. A computer is linked to an internet network access router. The climatic apparatus includes a communicating device to transmit on the local network an item of information relating to its manner of operation. A method for implementing such a climatic system is also provided.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to the command of a thermal device and more specifically a control box for such a device, comprising a communication interface with an energy and driving manager for receiving centralized operating settings from the manager defining, for this device, a centralized operating mode in which the device applies the aforementioned settings. The box furthermore comprises an interface for entry of local operating preferences, where the communication interface is arranged for communicating the operating preferences to the manager in order to change the centralized operating settings associated with the device based on the operating preferences.

Abstract: A heating appliance includes a frame and a heating element. The frame has a casing and a rear face demarcating an internal volume of the frame. The rear face is configured to be secured to a wall that is substantially vertical. The heating element is placed in the internal volume of the frame. The casing of the heating appliance includes a phase-change material.
