Each of the recessed portions has a face which is directed towards the axis of rotation of the fan and the profile of which in the axial direction is generally curvilinear and not parallel to the axis of rotation.
Abstract:
An intake system for a turbocharged internal combustion engine and a method for controlling warm-up of a turbocharged internal combustion engine are provided. The intake system includes an intake manifold defining a plenum chamber connectable to a plurality of engine cylinders, an intake duct opening into the plenum chamber and supplying a gaseous fluid thereto, an electric heater provided for heating the gaseous fluid, and a cooler supplied with a cooling fluid, provided for cooling the gaseous fluid. The heater and the cooler cooperate to form a conditioning module positioned within the plenum chamber in such a way as to intercept at least a substantial part of the gaseous fluid entering the plenum chamber from the intake duct, wherein the cooler is arranged in series with the heater.
Abstract:
Cooling assembly for vehicles, comprising a radiator including two collecting tanks made of plastic material, an element fastened to the radiator, and fastening means for the mutual fastening of the element and of the radiator, including two U-shaped seats on each of said collecting tanks and two pairs of engagement members fastened to said element. Each of said engagement members comprises a pivot formation with a cylindrical outer surface having circular section and each of said seats has an elastically deformable snap-on engagement surface having semi-cylindrical shape with circular section able to receive said pivot formation in snap-on engagement.
Abstract:

The air conditioning unit includes a frame, a condenser section mounted on the frame and a HVAC section mounted on the frame. The condenser section is positioned along a central longitudinal axis of the air conditioning unit, and the HVAC section is positioned in a distributed way on the two opposite sides of the condenser section and comprises at least one pair of HVAC modules, each of which includes a box-shaped base of plastic material mounted on the frame, inside which a respective blower, evaporator and heater are mounted.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger for heat exchange between air and a heat exchange medium includes a plurality of heat transfer conduits arranged parallel to each other as flow paths for the heat exchange medium and a plurality of fin members. The fin members are configured to provide: an air inlet end for air inflow, an air outlet end for air outflow, and an air flow path. The air flow path connects the air inlet end with the air outlet end and allows a heat exchange with the plurality of heat transfer conduits. Each fin member includes a plurality of undulation troughs coplanar with each other and connected together so as to define a water condensate flow path. Each water condensate flow path has a flat bottom which extends from the air inlet end to the air outlet end.
