Abstract:
A mixer for mixing a fluid solution, such as a diesel exhaust fluid for selective catalytic reduction, with a gas, such as an exhaust gas, includes a mixing chamber with a general cylinder shape obtained by translation of a polarly period section along a first axis. The fluid solution is sprayed in the mixing chamber by way of a first axial end thereof. The gas enters the mixing chamber through openings formed in a generatrix surface of said mixing chamber, and the mixture exits through a second axial end opposite the first axial end. The polarly period section is shaped in a star, obtained by polarly periodically repeating an elementary profile, comprising an opening defined by a first angle between a first segment passing through the two ends of said opening and a radial line passing through the distal end of said first segment.
Abstract:
A valve comprises a kinematic chain having: a rotary driving member, a rotary driven member, and an intermediate member. The driving member has a driving contact element in flat or linear abutment on a complementary driving contact element of the intermediate member. The driven member has a driven contact element in flat or linear abutment on a complementary driven contact element of the intermediate member. The complementary driving contact element and the complementary driven contact element (49) together form an angle between 45° and 135°. A driving elastic member urges the driving contact element against the complementary driving contact element.A driven elastic member urges the driven contact element against the complementary driven contact element.
Abstract:
A valve comprises a flap, a tubular valve body defining an exhaust gas flow passage, and a device to guide the flap relative to the valve body to allow the flap to pivot relative to the valve body around a pivot axis between a closing position and a freed position of the exhaust gas flow passage. The flap has two large faces substantially parallel to one another and connected to one another by an edge of the flap. The guide device comprises a pin, a distal, end and a base. The valve also comprises a stabilizing member secured to the flap.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas purification member comprises an annular substrate centered on a central axis, a peripheral electrode alongside and against an outer cylindrical face of the substrate, and a central electrode alongside and against an inner cylindrical face of the substrate. The substrate is made up of an electrically conductive material and includes a plurality of intersecting walls defining longitudinal cells therebetween and that each emerge in an upstream face and in a downstream face of the substrate. These intersecting walls are covered with a catalytic composition and each wall extends from an outer cylindrical wall of the substrate, defining the outer cylindrical face, to the inner cylindrical wall of the substrate, defining the inner cylindrical face.
Abstract:
A pre-impregnated part includes a main layer and a reinforcing layer. The main layer is made from a first composite material including a first matrix made from thermoplastic material, and first reinforcing fibers embedded in the first matrix. The reinforcing layer is made from a second composite material including a second matrix made from thermoplastic material, and second reinforcing fibers embedded in the second matrix. The pre-impregnated part has a flattened shape of at least a portion of a finished part to be manufactured from said pre-impregnated part, and a surface of the main layer is smaller than a developed surface of the finished part to be manufactured.
Abstract:
The device includes an upstream pipe, extending along a first direction, and in which at least one purification member is housed, a first downstream pipe, extending along a second direction, and in which at least one heat exchanger is housed, and a second downstream pipe configured to be connected to an exhaust gas outlet tube. The device also includes an intermediate chamber comprising an exhaust gas inlet communicating with the upstream pipe, downstream from the at least one purification member, a first exhaust gas outlet communicating with the first downstream pipe, and a second exhaust gas outlet communicating with the second downstream pipe. The first direction and the second direction form an angle between them comprised between 0° and 90°.
Abstract:
An exhaust line element comprises a valve body, a shutter, a pivot link connecting the shutter to the valve body, an upstream tube, and a downstream tube. At least one first stopper is attached on an inner surface of the valve body. The shutter abuts against the first stopper in the closing off position. The first stopper defines a longitudinal position of at least one of the upstream tube and the downstream tube relative to the valve body.
Abstract:
A heat recovery device extends between an inlet and an outlet for exhaust gas, and includes a valve delimiting a direct passage for gas between the inlet and the outlet. The valve comprises a valve body housing a gate movable between a closing off position and a released position. A heat exchanger has an exchanger inlet upstream of the gate and an exchanger outlet downstream of the gate. The valve comprises a tube partially extending inside the valve body up to a mouth edge at a distal end, with the mouth edge extending in a plane. The gate has a plane contact surface configured to come in a direct contact with the mouth edge when the gate is in the closing off position.
Abstract:
A spiral exchanger has a winding axis and comprises an outer sheet and an inner sheet secured to one another in a fastening plane before winding and delimiting a space for a fluid between them. The outer sheet and the inner sheet are wound on themselves and each comprises a plurality of flexible areas and a plurality of rigid areas, the flexible areas being more flexible than the rigid areas during folding. The flexible areas and the rigid areas are extended along the winding axis, and at least one flexible area of the outer sheet and at least one flexible area of the inner sheet that delimit the space between them form a pair of flexible areas that are aligned in a same radial direction.
Abstract:
An assembly provides a proportioned gas flow and includes a device that provides a pressurized flow of said gas, a release unit that releases the proportioned gas flow, and a chamber having an inlet fluidically connected to the device and an outlet fluidically connected to the release unit. The assembly further includes an admission valve inserted between the inlet of the chamber and the device, a metering valve inserted between the outlet of the chamber and the release unit, and a computer programmed to control the admission valve and the metering valve to provide a proportioned gas flow to the release unit. The assembly further comprises a calibrated orifice inserted between the outlet of the chamber and the release unit.
