Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for recovery of energy from engines. The described technology may be applied to systems, methods, and/or apparatuses. An example exhaust energy recovery apparatus (50) may include at least one thermal to electrical energy conversion element (60) having at least one side for thermal coupling along a substantial length (34, 35, 36) of an exhaust duct (30) for a combustion engine. The example apparatus (50) may also include a cover (52) located over at least a portion of the exhaust duct (30) adjacent to the at least one energy conversion element (60). A channel (53) may be formed between the cover (52) and an exterior portion of the exhaust duct (30), the channel having at least one inlet (54, 56) for admission of cooling fluid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a plastic tank (1) for an operating fluid, in particular a urea-water solution, having a tank wall (2), wherein in the tank wall (2) there is integrated at least one duct (3) which forms a part of a delivery line (4) for delivering operating fluid out of the plastic tank (1).
Abstract:
An exhaust processing assembly for an exhaust generating device, the exhaust processing assembly comprising one or more cartridges, each of the cartridges including a housing and a constituent housed in the housing and capable of at least partially removing carbon dioxide from the exhaust of the exhaust generating device, said constituent being one or more of a solid absorber and any other constituent, wherein the cartridges are one of: removable from the exhaust processing assembly and replaceable with other like cartridges, and refillable with new constituent.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (1) zur Bereitstellung eines flüssigen Additivs für ein Kraftfahrzeug (2), aufweisend einen Tank (3) zur Speicherung des flüssigen Additivs und eine Fördereinheit (4) zur Förderung des flüssigen Additivs aus dem Tank (3) Weiter ist ein Sensor (6) vorgesehen, welcher Wellen abstrahlt und empfängt und dazu eingerichtet ist, über eine Laufzeitmessung der Wellen entlang einer Messtrecke (7) zu einer Flüssigkeitsoberfläche (7) in dem Tank (3) und zurück zu dem Sensor (6) den Füllstand des flüssigen Additivs in dem Tank (3) zu messen, wobei die Messtrecke (7) zumindest teilweise durch einen Messkanal (9) verläuft. Zudem mündet zumindest eine Rückspülleitung (5) in den Messkanal (9), so dass eine Spülung des Messkanals (9) hin zum Tank (3) erfolgen kann, so dass der Messkanal (9) sauber gehalten und/oder gereinigt wird.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a hollow body comprising a thermoplastic wall and a fibrous reinforcement welded on at least one portion of the outer surface of said wall, the fibrous reinforcement comprising a thermoplastic similar to or compatible with that of the wall of the hollow body, having a thickness of at least 1 mm and comprising from 30 to 60% in weight of fibres, according to which: . the portion of the outer surface of the hollow body, where the reinforcement will be welded, is heated; . the fibrous reinforcement is also heated so as to soften or even preferably melt the thermoplastic of the reinforcement; and . the reinforcement is moved to and applied to said portion of the outer surface of the hollow body, wherein the step of applying the reinforcement to said portion of the outer surface of the hollow body comprises: . applying an initial pressure on at least one portion of the reinforcement; . applying pressure for the final welding using robotized pressure applying means.
Abstract:
L'invention se rapporte à un support moteur (40) pour moteur à combustion interne, le support intégrant un conduit (66) de recirculation des gaz d'échappement du moteur. L'invention se rapporte en outre à une culasse de moteur à combustion interne, présentant un côté par lequel la culasse est adaptée à être supportée par le support de moteur, le côté comprenant une ouverture pour la circulation de liquide de refroidissement entre l'intérieur de la culasse et le support de culasse. L'invention permet d'éviter les inconvénients de l'intégration du conduit de recirculation des gaz d'échappement dans la culasse.
Abstract:
