The present invention concerns embodiments of a thermal switch used to control the transfer of heat from a heat source to a heat sink. According to one aspect, the thermal switch (Fig. 6a-6b) can be activated, or turned ~on~ (Fig. 6b), so as to establish a path of low thermal resistance between the heat source (106) and the heat sink (102) to facilitate the transfer of heat therebetween. The thermal switch can also be de-activated, or turned ~off~ (Fig. 6a), so as to establish a path of high thermal resistance between the heat source (106) and the heat sink (102) to minimize or totally prevent the transfer of heat between the heat source (106) and heat sink (102). In certain embodiments, the thermal switch includes at least drop of a thermally conductive liquid (108) that thermally couples the heat source (106) to the heat sink (102) whenever the switch is activated.

La présente invention concerne des modes de réalisation d'un thermocontact utilisé pour commander le transfert de chaleur d'une source de chaleur à un puits thermique. Selon un aspect de l'invention, le thermocontact peut être activé, ou mis en position "on", de façon à établir une trajectoire à faible résistance thermique entre la source de chaleur et le puits thermique, afin de faciliter le transfert de chaleur entre eux. Le thermocontact peut également être désactivé, ou mis en position "off", de façon à établir une trajectoire à résistance thermique élevée entre la source de chaleur et le puits thermique, afin de minimiser ou d'empêcher complètement le transfert de chaleur entre eux. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le thermocontact comprend au moins une goutte d'un liquide thermo-conducteur qui réalise le couplage thermique entre la source de chaleur et le puits thermique dès que le thermocontact est activé.
