Abstract: A three-dimensional, vacuum thermal insulating element comprising a compressed three-dimensional porous structure, an envelope closed in an airtight manner comprising a thermoformable barrier wall, enclosing the porous structure, which is interposed between two major surfaces of the barrier wall, and where, at outside ambient temperature and pressure, a pressure between less than 105 Pa and more than 10−2 Pa prevails. The barrier wall is thermoformed at said the two major surfaces, between which the porous structure is bent-shaped and/or has reliefs and/or depressions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for heat exchange. At a first point in time, in a thermal energy storing device, at least part of the previously accumulated thermal energy is discharged to a first fluid by heat exchange, and subsequently, at a second later point in time, when the first fluid has been heated to a temperature higher than the temperature of a second fluid, the second fluid receives heat energy by heat exchange with said first fluid which then circulates on the other side of a first wall that prevents the first and second fluids from mixing.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising a plurality of cells (10) of an electric vehicle battery (1) between which a first passage (17) may receive fluid via a first supply (27). On another side (11b) of the cells, a second passage (19) may receive fluid via a second supply (29). Around the cells, a peripheral passage (21) may also receive fluid via another supply (25). The second passage (19) and/or the peripheral passage (21) is interposed between a thermal insulator (33) and two successive cells. Flow control means (47) provide a thermal exchange fluid flow through at least one of the first, second and additional fluid supplies during a first time period and through at least two of the first, second and additional fluid supplies during a second time period.
