Abstract:
The invention relates to an exhaust manifold (12) consisting of: an outer casing (18) comprising an outer shell (22) and a flange (24) which is welded to the outer shell (22) and which is equipped with a surface (24B) that is supported by an engine head and at least one hole (28) which opens onto said support surface (24A); and at least one internal conduit (20) which is disposed in the outer casing (18) and which terminates in a hole (28). The invention is characterised in that: each internal conduit (20) is formed from a ceramic material; and each internal conduit (20) extends through the flange (24) by means of each hole (28) and comprises an extension (32) that extends outside the outer casing (18) towards the exterior and beyond the support surface (24A).
Abstract:
A device for depolluting a heat engine exhaust gases includes an outer casing (23) including successive first and second tubular sections (38, 40), the first section (38) containing a first depolluting member (18) mounted in the passage, the first section including a female end (42) wherein is nested a male end (44) of the second section (40). The first depolluting member (18) includes a substrate (19) and at least one wedge (50, 52) interposed between the inner surface of the first tubular section (38) and the substrate (19), the (or each) wedge (50, 52) consisting of a wire mesh associated with a heat-expansible material to provide exhaust gas proofness.
Abstract:
A mounting hook for a tube (2) in the exhaust system of a motor vehicle, includes a pin (3) with an essentially cylindrical fixing end (7), at least one spacer and at least one spacer (8) with a mounting piece (12), for the fixing end, at a first end thereof and at least one fixing plate (11) for a tube (2), at the second end thereof. The at least one mounting piece (12) and the fixing end (7) are joined by welding. The at least one mounting piece and the fixing end cooperate via a planar contact matching the angle such as to permit an adjustment of the distance between the pin and the at least one fixing plate for a tube before welding.
Abstract:
An exhaust volume (20) of the type including a muffler (24) having a casing provided with an inlet (29) and an outlet (30) for passing gases and adapted to enable the muffler to be mounted in an exhaust system (14). The volume further includes an additional enclosure (26) forming an accumulation cavity communicating solely with the casing of the muffler (24) via at least one connection pipe (28), the additional enclosure (26) being placed outside the muffler (24). The additional enclosure (26) is of a structure whose ability to withstand high temperature is lower than that of the structure of the muffler (24).
Abstract:
A heating element for an exhaust line includes a substantially tubular housing that defines a passage section for the exhaust gases and at least two heating discs arranged across the passage section to force the exhaust gases to pass through the at least two heating discs. A connector supports the at least two heating discs and provides an electrical connection between the at least two heating discs.
Abstract:
A pressurized gas containment liner includes a first part comprising a first shell with a first peripheral edge, and a second part comprising a second shell with a second peripheral edge. The first peripheral edge is rigidly connected to the second peripheral edge, and the first shell and the second shell delimit between them an interior volume. The first part comprises at least one pillar that passes through the interior volume, is formed integrally with the first shell, and is elongated between a proximal end, connected to the first shell, and a distal end, rigidly connected to the second part. A transverse section of the pillar decreases from the proximal end to the distal end.
Abstract:
A modular tank is provided for storing pressurized gas, such as hydrogen. The modular tank comprises at least two substantially cylindrical cylinders that are arranged parallel side by side, and are fluidly connected to one another by at least one tube. The at least one tube is arranged in a space between the at least two cylindrical cylinders.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas heating device includes a housing and a heating element arranged in the housing for heating exhaust gases flowing through the housing. The heating element comprises a first and a second connecting region. A power source for supplying electricity to the heating element, comprises a first connecting element, connected to the first connecting region of the heating element, and intended to supply the heating element (18) with electricity, and a second connecting element. The electrical power source comprises a third connecting element that comprises an electrical connector, electrically connecting the second connecting element to the second connecting region of the heating element.
Abstract:
An electrical harness for a composite object comprises a first electrical layer mainly embedded in the composite of the object, a second electrical layer mainly outside the composite of the object, and a connection device electrically connecting the first layer and the second layer.
Abstract:
A base for a pressurized gas tank, such as hydrogen, is substantially circular about an axis, and comprises a substantially cylindrical pipe of axis, which passes through the base in order to connect an outside of the tank to an inside of the tank. A substantially tubular notch of axis is arranged on an inner side of the tank and is suitable for receiving a sealing envelope. A substantially tubular sleeve of axis is arranged on the inner side of the tank and has an inner diameter substantially equal to a diameter of the pipe and an outer diameter substantially equal to an inner diameter of the notch, and also has an axial extension at least equal to that of the notch. An O-ring and a groove of axis, capable of receiving the O-ring, are arranged in a side wall of the notch. The base also comprises a body and a substantially tubular ring of axis, interfaced by a surface of revolution about the axis passing through the groove.
