Abstract

L'invention concerne une chambre à vapeur 1, qui est un mode de réalisation du dispositif de diffusion de chaleur comprenant un boîtier 10, un milieu de travail 20 et une mèche 30. La mèche 30 comprend un premier corps poreux 41 et un second corps poreux 42 qui supportent une première surface de paroi interne 11a et une seconde surface de paroi interne 12a du boîtier 10 à partir de l'intérieur. Le premier corps poreux 41 s'étend le long d'une direction perpendiculaire à une direction d'épaisseur Z, et est divisé par l'intermédiaire d'une première région divisée R1 dans la direction d'extension. Le second corps poreux 42 est disposé avec un espace à partir du premier corps poreux 41 de façon à être ajusté dans la première région divisée R1.
