摘要:
The device comprises a heat-sensitive element which is heated to a controllable extent so as to keep it at a predetermined temperature, for example, average body temperature. Detector means measure the power or energy required to keep the heat-sensitive element at this predetermined temperature, thus providing a signal indicative of the thermal comfort conditions of the environment. The heat-sensitive element has a general elongated shape so that it can be inserted, for example, into a motor vehicle safety belt, ensuring that the indication obtained indicates the general thermal comfort conditions throughout the entire region of the environment in which the heat-sensitive element extends.

The sensor unit consists of a scale model of the vehicle mounted on the roof of the vehicle itself. The sensor unit measures the amount of energy exchange necessary to obtain the desired air-conditioning in its interior environment and generates a signal, which is of a predictive nature, indicating the amount of energy exchange necessary to obtain the corresponding air-conditioning in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

An air heating system comprises a duct housing an air-cooled internal combustion engine which drives a fan to cause air to be drawn in through an inlet mouth of the duct and blown through the duct to a utilizer. The exhaust gases from the engine are fed as heating fluid to a heat exchanger through which they pass in a helical path concentric with the axis of the duct. Pre-heating of the air drawn into the duct can be achieved by providing a second heat exchanger through which air must flow before entering the duct inlet. The heating fluid for the second heat exchanger comprises a mixture of the used air from the utilizer and the exhaust gases leaving the main heat exchanger in the duct.

The device is adapted to control the movement of a valve (1) of an internal combustion engine comprising a stem (1a) which may move in translation through an opening (2a) of a hollow guide body (2) and which ends in a mushroom head (1b) cooperating in operation with a valve seat (12) provided in a wall (13) of the engine head. The valve (1) may move in translation with respect to the hollow guide body (2) between a retracted position and a forward position in which the mushroom head (1b) respectively closes and opens the associated valve seat (12).The control device comprises an electromagnet (3) adapted, when energised, to retain the valve (1) in the retracted closed position, a first spring (7) associated with the valve (1) and tending to urge it towards the open position, and a second spring (8) also associated with the valve (1) and tending to oppose its transition into the open position. The arrangement is such that when the electromagnet (3) is de-energised, the valve (1) moves in acceleration towards the open position under the action of the first spring (7) until the action of the latter stops, and then the valve (1) moves in deceleration into the open position under the action of the second spring (8).

A shutoff device for a fluid with a body having a conduit in which, in use, the fluid flows, a plunger arranged slidingly in a seat formed in the body and provided with an end portion suited to shut off said conduit, and means controlling the movement of the plunger into said seat. The control means comprise at least in particular a member having a hollow shape, made in piezoelectric material and arranged inside a chamber formed in the body and communicating with part of the surface of said plunger. Into the chamber is contained a liquid which is subjected to pressure changes as a consequence of the volume changes induced in the piezoelectric member; said liquid causes the movement of the plunger and consequently the shutoff of the conduit.
摘要:
Apparatus for the combined production of heat and electrical energy comprising an internal combustion engine driving an electricity generator and enclosed in a thermally insulated housing with heat exchangers for extracting heat from the engine coolant, the engine oil, the exhaust gases from the engine and from the electricity generator, and for transferring this heat to an external heating circuit, in which all the components are carried by a rectangular or cubic supporting framework to which the thermal and acoustic insulation panels are attached by quick-release fastenings, the engine and generator being connected together to form a rigid unit which is suspended from the framework while the ignition equipment of the engine is housed externally of the framework and cooled by the incoming air being drawn into the engine flowing through a housing in which it is supported.
摘要:
A method of attaching terminals to the wires of a cable having a plurality of wires all insulated from one another with separate insulating layers is disclosed, wherein the wires are surrounded, in the region where a terminal is to be connected, by a liquid conductive material. After the outer cover of the cable has been removed (if it has one), a terminal element is positioned in contact with the liquid conductive material adjacent the wires of the cable at the said region. A rising voltage is then applied between the terminal and one end of the wire which is to be connected to the terminal. The voltage continues to rise until the occurrence of dielectric breakdown of the insulation surrounding the wire to be connected allowing a spark to jump from the wire to the terminal and to burn a hole through the insulating layer allowing the liquid conductive material to flow in and make contact with the wire. Subsequent solidification of the liquid conductive material makes the connection permanent.
