Abstract

L'invention concerne un échangeur thermique souple approprié pour chauffer ou refroidir des sujets vivants ou des objets. L'échangeur thermique présente un volume doté d'au moins une admission pour recevoir un fluide d'échange thermique et d'au moins une sortie. Une plaque d'échange thermique souple, essentiellement imperméable au fluide d'échange thermique, est pénétrée par des éléments thermoconducteurs sensiblement rigides. Ces éléments fournissent des chemins de conductivité thermique élevée traversant ladite plaque. Le fluide d'échange thermique peut être de l'eau.
