Device for thermal separation between a conditioned environment and at least one external environment

Abstract

A device for thermal separation between a conditioned environment and at least one external environment, which comprises a wall that has at least a first active layer-like region toward the conditioned environment, a second active layer-like region toward the external environment with respect to the first active layer-like region, a first insulating layer-like region, which is interposed between the active layer-like regions, a second insulating layer-like region, which is interposed between the second active layer-like region and the external environment. The active layer-like regions accommodate channels for the outflow of heat transfer fluids, which have, during the operation of the thermal separation device, temperatures that on average are different through the thickness of the wall.

1 - 7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . A device for thermal separation between a conditioned environment and at least one environment that is external thereto, said environments being adjacent, wherein the device comprises a wall that has at least
 a first active layer-like region toward said conditioned environment,   a second active layer-like region toward said external environment with respect to said first active layer-like region,   a first insulating layer-like region, which is interposed between said active layer-like regions,   a second insulating layer-like region, which is interposed between said second active layer-like region and said external environment,   said active layer-like regions accommodating channels for the outflow of heat transfer fluids, which have, during the operation of said thermal separation device, temperatures that on average are different through the thickness of said wall.   
     
     
         9 . The thermal separation device according to  claim 8 , further comprising a third insulating layer-like region that is interposed between said first active layer-like region and said conditioned environment. 
     
     
         10 . The thermal separation device according to  claim 8 , wherein said insulating layer-like regions and said channels comprise interspaces between substantially transparent or translucent panels. 
     
     
         11 . The thermal separation device according to  claim 10 , further comprising an absorbent screen, which is opaque or can be rendered opaque and during use is inserted in said second insulating layer-like region, formed as an interspace between a first panel and a second panel of said panels, means being provided for repositioning said screen in said second insulating layer-like region which are adapted to reposition on command said screen between an intermediate position in said interspace and a position that adheres to said second panel, said panel delimiting said second active layer-like region toward said outside environment. 
     
     
         12 . The thermal separation device according to  claim 9 , wherein said second insulating layer-like region and said third insulating layer-like region have concordantly a thickness that increases in one direction of extension of said channels, the first insulating layer-like region having, discordantly with respect to said second insulating layer-like region and said third insulating layer-like region, a thickness that decreases in said direction of extension. 
     
     
         13 . The thermal separation device according to  claim 8 , wherein said channels comprise tubes for the outflow of said first heat transfer fluid and said second heat transfer fluid. 
     
     
         14 . The thermal separation device according to  claim 13 , wherein the tubes that form a first channel of said channels are offset with respect to the tubes that form the second channel of said channels.
