Abstract:
A device for storing and supplying ammonia to an exhaust line of an automobile vehicle, includes a solid material provided for absorbing the ammonia, a reservoir for storing the solid material, and a heating unit to heat the solid material to desorb the ammonia. The solid material comprises solid elements with a mass of less than 50 grams. The heating unit is insulated from the reservoir. The device also includes a first assembly for transferring solid elements from the reservoir to the heating unit.
Abstract:
An ammonia generating device is delimited by an outer casing that includes a main reservoir and a secondary reservoir. The main reservoir is capable of reloading with ammonia the body in the secondary reservoir. A heater is capable of heating the bodies in each reservoir. A connector connects the main reservoir to the secondary reservoir. The heater comprises first and second heating devices respectively installed inside the main reservoir and the secondary reservoir and operating independently. The main reservoir is thermally decoupled from the secondary reservoir to generate a temperature gradient between both reservoirs.
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 injection and mixing device comprises a casing having an exhaust inlet and an exhaust outlet, the casing internally defining a passage for exhaust gases from the exhaust inlet to the exhaust outlet. The exhaust inlet opens into an inlet region of the passage. The injection and mixing device further includes an injector of a liquid comprising a nitrogen oxide reducing agent or a precursor of such a reducing agent. A deflector is housed within the casing and defines in the passage a first passage connecting the inlet region to the exhaust outlet, in which the exhaust gases flow at a first average velocity, and a second passage connecting the inlet region to the exhaust outlet, in which the exhaust gases flow at a second average velocity lower than the first average velocity, The injector injects liquid into the second passage.
Abstract:
A device fastens a tank for pressurized gas, such as hydrogen, to a frame. The tank comprises a base including a cylindrical seat. The device comprises a fastener able to clamp the cylindrical seat of the base, where the device also comprises at least one mechanical fuse that is able to break in case of impact experienced by the frame, so that the device releases the base from the frame.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a heating element for an exhaust line, comprising a housing, a heating disc, a first electrode, and at least one second electrode. The heating disc comprises a first contact point and a second contact point. The second electrode comprises a contact element connecting a second connector to a second contact point with an angular offset, in order to be able to offset angularly the second connector. The housing comprises a peripheral orifice suitable for accommodating the contact element. The contact element is electrically insulated from the housing and from the heating disc outside the contact point thereof.
Abstract:
A heating member for a vehicle exhaust gas purification device comprises an electrically conductive peripheral frame having an inner edge, a central support arranged substantially at a geometric centre of the inner edge, and a perforated heating grid formed of a plurality of elongate heating elements each having first and second ends opposite one another. The first end is linked to the electrically conductive peripheral frame and the second end is linked to the central support. Each elongate heating element occupies a respective angular sector of the perforated heating grid, and is arranged in zigzag manner within that angular sector so as to form a succession of strands connected by nodes and being linked by the nodes to the elongate heating elements occupying neighbouring angular sectors.
Abstract:
A heating device includes a heating element in the form of a metal foam, and a case defined by a side wall that extends along a longitudinal axis. The metal foam is housed in the case. An electrical thermal insulator is arranged between the metal foam and the case. The heating device includes at least one electrode and the metal foam includes a zone configured to receive the at least one electrode.
Abstract:
A protective cover for an electrical conductor comprises a substantially tubular cap surrounding the electrical conductor. The protective cover further includes a substantially disc-shaped flange comprising a bore surrounding the electrical conductor in a liquid-tight manner and an outer contour strictly inscribed in an inner contour of the tubular cap facing disc-shaped flange. The tubular cap also comprises at least one perforation arranged at a low point of the tubular cap. In one example, the protective cover is used for a heating element for an exhaust line.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an electricity storage module and battery. It further relates to a corresponding manufacturing process for such a storage module and battery. The module comprises a plurality of electricity storage pouch cells each having a pouch and first and second electrodes protruding from the pouch, the pouch cells being juxtaposed along a principal direction and forming a stack embedded in a resin.
