Thermal control module for a system for thermally controlling all or a portion of a person's body, and system and motorcycle comprising such a module

A thermal control module for a system for thermally controlling all or a portion of a person's, in particular a motorcyclist's, body, including an open fluidic circuit comprising:

• a compensation reservoir adapted to contain a volume of heat transfer fluid,
• a pump adapted to circulate said heat transfer fluid in said open fluidic circuit,
• a heat exchange element adapted for the circulation of said heat transfer fluid, said heat exchange element being thermally connected to a first heat exchange face of a Peltier-effect thermoelectric device adapted to be electrically connected to a direct current source, the thermoelectric device having a second heat exchange face with the surrounding area,
• characterised in that
• said reservoir, said pump and said heat exchange element being fluidically connected and being disposed in the body of a housing, and said open fluidic circuit having an inlet opening and an outlet opening evacuating respectively from said housing, the inlet and outlet openings being adapted to be connected, directly or indirectly via a flexible conduit, respectively to an end of a conduit of an item of thermal control clothing so as to form a closed fluidic circuit,
• said housing comprises a lower face having a plurality of anchor points on a structural element of a motorcycle, in particular on a bracket for mounting a “top-case” or saddlebag type luggage item for a motorcycle, and an upper face having a plurality of points for mounting a “top-case” or saddlebag type luggage item for a motorcycle, said lower and upper faces being separated by a height,
• said housing has a location for mounting the heat exchange element having a means for distancing the heat exchange element from the walls of the housing,
• said heat exchange face with the surrounding area is thermally connected to at least one “heat-pipe” type radiator extending in a direction orthogonal to the height.
