Abstract:
A heat exchanger comprises a plurality of flow pipes for a first fluid and an envelope delimiting an internal volume in which the pipes are placed. The envelope has an inlet for a second fluid and an outlet for the second fluid opening into the internal volume. At least one internal grid is arranged between the inlet of the second fluid and the outlet of the second fluid. The internal grid divides the internal volume into a plurality of chambers arranged one after another in a longitudinal direction. The internal grid delimits a passage for the second fluid with an internal surface of the envelope, wherein the or each passage is arranged such that the second fluid circulates in a labyrinthine fashion from the inlet of the second fluid to the outlet of the second fluid via the chambers.

A battery comprises: at least one electrical energy storage cell; an enclosure in which the at least one electrical energy storage cell is housed, the enclosure having a bottom made from a material with low thermal conductivity having at least one flow channel for a cooling fluid; a thermal plate made from a material with a high thermal conductivity, laying down on the bottom the thermal plate being in thermal contact with the at least one electrical energy storage cell; and a cradle, facing the bottom and separated from the bottom by a space.
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:
This exhaust gas purification device (2, 102), comprising an upstream pipe (4), in which a first exhaust gas purification member (6) is housed, a downstream pipe (8) in which a second exhaust gas purification member (10) is housed, a mixing chamber (12) and an injection device (20) for a nitrogen oxide reducing product; is characterized in that the mixing chamber includes a first deflector member capable of channeling the flow of exhaust gas such that it flows through the jet of nitrogen oxide reducing product substantially perpendicular to the second deflector member (36, 56), the second deflector member being configured to form two swirling flows of a mixture of exhaust gas and nitrogen oxide reducing product; and in that the device further includes an element (54, 58) for protecting the second member (10) for purifying exhaust gas.
Abstract:
A valve comprises a coupling device having a driven member bound to the drive shaft of a flap, a driving member bound to an output shaft of an actuator, and an elastic member. The driving member comprises attachments that hooks up the elastic member to the driving member in a temporary position in which the elastic member is elastically loaded. The driven member comprises at least one release member that at least partly releases the elastic member of the attachments when the coupling device is brought to an intermediate state or the elastic member, when the coupling device is in the intermediate state, may be at least partly released from the attachments. The elastic member once released, adopts a definitive use position under the effect of relaxation of the elastic load, the coupling device then adopting the operational state.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas purification member includes at least one block to purify exhaust gases and a casing having an inner surface surrounding the purification block and delimiting a channel for circulating the exhaust gases. At least one element supports the purification block, and is interposed between the inner surface of the casing and a side wall of the purification block. The inner surface of the casing includes at least one portion protruding towards the purification block. The supporting element is interposed between the side wall of the purification block and the protruding portion.
Abstract:
A driving device comprises a support, an actuator provided with an output shaft and fixed to the support, and an arm having a distal point provided to be connected to the closing member. A kinematic chain converts a rotation of the output shaft into a rotational movement of a proximal point of the arm around a rotation axis. The proximal and distal points are situated at opposite ends of the arm. The kinematic chain comprises a link connecting the arm to the support. The link is arranged to guide the proximal point of the arm in rotation around the rotation axis, and to transmit, between the arm and the support, radial orientation forces relative to the rotation axis.
Abstract:
A pump includes a chamber defined by a piston movable in a body comprising an intake opening able to communicate with the chamber and a first non-return member authorizing passage of fluid from the opening toward the chamber, and prohibiting the passage from the chamber toward the opening. An expulsion opening is between the chamber and a duct, and a second non-return member authorizes passage of fluid from the chamber toward the duct, and prohibits passage from the duct toward the chamber. The body includes a discharge opening communicating with the duct and able to communicate with the opening, and a third non-return member movable between an open position, in which the duct communicates with the opening, and a closed position prohibiting the passage of fluid between the duct and the opening. The pump includes a member to move the third non-return member.
