Ventilated panel and vehicle equipped with such a panel

Abstract

The subject of the invention is a panel intended to form part of a wall delimiting a refrigerated chamber of a refrigerated box or to be positioned on such a wall, the panel including a photovoltaic module comprising at least one photovoltaic cell on the face of the panel facing towards the outside of the box, a layer of insulating material on the face of the panel facing towards the inside of the box, and air flow means interposed between the photovoltaic module and said insulating layer, and also a refrigerated box comprising such a panel on one of its walls and a vehicle comprising such a box.

1 . A panel intended to form part of a wall delimiting a refrigerated chamber of a refrigerated box or to be positioned on such a wall, the panel including:
 a photovoltaic module comprising at least one photovoltaic cell on a face of the panel facing towards an outside of the box,   a layer of insulating material on a face of the panel facing towards an inside of the box, and   air flow means interposed between the photovoltaic module and said insulating layer.   
     
     
         2 . The panel as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the insulating layer comprises an original insulating wall of the box. 
     
     
         3 . The panel as claimed in  claim 1 , in which lateral fixing frames with a break in a thermal bridge are arranged to hold the photovoltaic module in position on the wall of the box. 
     
     
         4 . The panel as claimed in  claim 1 , in which a converter and storage batteries are connected to the photovoltaic module. 
     
     
         5 . The panel as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the photovoltaic module includes parts made of a transparent polymer material. 
     
     
         6 . A refrigerated box comprising a wall delimiting a refrigerated chamber and at least one panel, which is part of said wall or positioned on said wall, as claimed in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         7 . A vehicle including a refrigerated box as claimed in  claim 6 . 
     
     
         8 . The vehicle as claimed in  claim 7 , in which the panel is positioned on an upper face of the box. 
     
     
         9 . The vehicle as claimed in  claim 7 , in which a panel is positioned on a side face of the box. 
     
     
         10 . The vehicle as claimed in  claim 7 , in which the air flow means include at least one air intake in a normal direction of travel of the vehicle. 
     
     
         11 . The vehicle as claimed in  claim 10 , in which the air flow means include intermediate air intakes.
