Abstract

A thermal control module for a system for thermally controlling all or a portion of a person's body including a housing with a lower face having a plurality of anchor points on a bracket for mounting a luggage item for a motorcycle, and an upper face having a plurality of points for mounting a luggage item for a motorcycle, the lower and upper faces being separated by a height, the housing has a location for mounting a heat exchange element having a means for distancing the heat exchange element from the walls of the housing, and a face for exchanging heat with the area surrounding a Peltier device thermally connected to a heat-pipe radiator extending in a direction orthogonal to the height, where the height is minimised and the exchange of heat with the surrounding area is maximised.

Abstract

The invention relates to a thermal control module (100) for a system for thermally controlling all or a portion of a person's body, the module comprising a housing (180) with a lower face (181) having a plurality of anchor points (182) on a bracket (610) for mounting a luggage item for a motorcycle, and an upper face (184) having a plurality of points (185) for mounting a luggage item (700) for a motorcycle, the lower and upper faces being separated by a height h, the housing having a location (191) for mounting a heat exchange element (130), which heat exchange element has a means (192) for distancing the heat exchange element from the walls of the housing, and a heat exchange face (142) for exchanging heat with the area surrounding a Peltier device (140) thermally connected to a heat-pipe radiator (150) extending in a direction orthogonal to the height, whereby the height is minimised and the exchange of heat with the area surrounding the Peltier device is maximised.
