    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device for a vehicle includes a tubular enclosure having a central axis, a purification member for exhaust gases housed in the tubular enclosure, an electric heating member housed in the tubular enclosure, and a power source electrically powering the electric heating member. The electric heating member comprises a heating plate made from an electrically conductive material extending in a plane substantially perpendicular to the central axis. The heating plate has a solid center and at least two branches, each branch extending in a spiral from the solid center to a free end located near the tubular enclosure. The heating plate is permeable to the exhaust gases and comprises a network of passages for the exhaust gas generating a turbulent flow of the exhaust gases through the heating plate.

    Abstract: A heater is suitable to be arranged opposite and away from an upstream or downstream face of an exhaust gas purification member of a vehicle. The heater comprises a fastening ring with an electrically conductive frame having a geometric center, a central support arranged substantially at the geometric center of the frame, and a plurality of elongate heating elements each having first and second ends opposite one another. The first end is connected to the frame and the second end is connected to the central support. The fastening ring further comprises a plurality of electrically conductive radial protrusions distributed around the frame and protruding toward the outside of the frame.

    Abstract: An exhaust valve includes a body defining a passage and a flap that pivots about an axis relative to the body to selectively close/open the passage. An actuator moves the flap and a device couples the flap to the actuator. This coupling device comprises: a compression spring having a proximal end that rotates about the axis with a first element between the flap and an actuator output shaft and a distal end; a seat engaged with the distal end, while the seat is fixed in rotation about the axis with the first element, and a torsionally-rigid transmission member fixed in rotation about the axis with the first element and that immobilizes the distal end relative to the proximal end in a plane that is orthogonal to the axis. The transmission member has a slot that is elongated parallel to the axis and is traversed by the distal end.

    Abstract: A device includes a power source, at least one exhaust gas purification member having an upstream face and a downstream face, and a heating member placed in front of and at a distance from the upstream or downstream face. The heating member comprises a frame and a plurality of elongate heating elements surrounded by a peripheral part of the frame. Each heating element has first and second ends, with at least one of the first and second ends being electrically connected to the power source with the other end being connected to the frame. Each heating element is, between the first and second ends, connected only to at least one other of the heating elements. The heating elements are in contact with one another by respective points of contact, two points of contact of two different heating elements in contact with one another being at the same electric potential.

    Abstract: A purification method comprises providing a purification device comprising at least one exhaust gas purification member having an upstream surface through which the exhaust gas enters the purification member and a downstream surface through which the exhaust gases exit the purification member. The method further includes, in the absence of forced circulation of the exhaust gas through the purification member by an engine of the vehicle, heating radiatively at least either the upstream zone or the downstream zone, for example before starting the engine of the vehicle.

    Abstract: An ammonia storage cartridge includes an ammonia storage member having a storage material capable of absorbing or adsorbing ammonia. The storage member extends along a longitudinal axis. A heating element heats the storage member, and a hermetic tank houses the storage member. A tubular ammonia circulation element is arranged coaxially to the storage member, and includes a first surface at least partially delimiting, with an element chosen from among the heating element and the hermetic tank, a circulation duct for the fluid ammonia. A second surface is arranged at least partially in contact with the storage member, and at least one orifice passes radially through, allowing the circulation of fluid between the circulation duct and the storage member.
