A thermal regulation device, especially for cooling an electrical component likely to give off heat during operation, more especially for an electrical energy storage module, the device including an upper plate and a lower plate assembled with the upper plate so that, together, the plates form a plurality of channels for circulating a heat transfer fluid; the device being such that least some of the channels open into at least one bend chamber by virtue of which the fluid can pass round a bend; and such that at least one of the bend chamber and the channels includes a mechanical reinforcing member formed on a wall of the bend chamber or of one of the channels, the reinforcing member being configured so as to improve the mechanical strength of the chamber and/or the channel with regard to potential deformation under the effect of a high pressure.

Thermal regulation device for a motor vehicle, especially for cooling

The invention relates to a thermoelectric device, comprising a first circuit (), called hot circuit, through which a first fluid can flow according to a path along which the temperature of said first fluid decreases, and, a second circuit (), called cold circuit, through which a second fluid can flow, at a temperature lower than that of the first fluid, according to a path along which the temperature of said second fluid increases, and elements (), called thermoelectric elements, that can be used to generate an electric current in the presence of a temperature gradient, said thermoelectric elements () being distributed along said hot () and cold () circuits, provided configured to create said gradient. According to the invention, the device is configured for the contribution of the thermoelectric elements to the generation of the electricity to be substantially constant along the path of the first and/or of the second fluid.

Thermoelectric device, in particular intended to generate an electric current in a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a thermoelectric device, comprising a first circuit (), called hot circuit, through which a first fluid can flow, and, a second circuit (), called cold circuit, through which a second fluid can flow at a temperature lower than that of the first fluid, and elements (), called thermoelectric elements, that can be used to generate an electric current in the presence of a temperature gradient. According to the invention, it comprises fins () in a heat exchange relationship with said hot circuit () and/or said cold circuit (), the thermoelectric elements () being in contact at least with said fins (), at least some of said fins () being associated in pairs, a compressible material () being provided between the fins () of one and the same pair.
