Abstract
A module for thermal storage by a phase-change material includes a vat, at least one heat-exchanger having first and second connecting ends configured to be connected to a heat-transfer fluid network, the first and second connecting ends penetrating and opening into the vat, and a structure received in the vat and configured to contain a phase-change material. The structure includes a porous matrix made of a metallic material with communicating cells crossed by the heat-exchanger and in contact with the external surface of the heat-exchanger. The matrix is obtained by moulding around the heat-exchanger. The vat includes at least one wall made of a metallic material formed directly during moulding and integral with the matrix.
