  • Publication number: 20050028968
    Abstract: A temperature control system for a vehicle includes an evaporator of an air conditioning unit, heat and/or moisture being withdrawable by the evaporator from the air to be introduced into the vehicle interior, a first heat exchanger arrangement, downstream of the evaporator in the air flow direction, supply of heat to air to be introduced into the vehicle interior being by the heat exchanger arrangement, and a heating arrangement with a second heat exchanger arrangement upstream of the evaporator in the air flow direction, supply of heat to the air to be introduced into the vehicle interior by the second heat exchanger arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20040197723
    Abstract: A burner arrangement for a heating device, particularly a vehicle heating device, comprising a combustion chamber (18) and a flame tube (22) conducting the combustion products away from the combustion chamber (18), having an inlet region (28) near the combustion chamber (18) at which combustion products enter the flame tube (22) and an outlet region (36) at which combustion products leave the flame tube (22). At least one intermediate outlet region (42) between the inlet region (28) and the outlet region (36), in which intermediate outlet region (42) a portion of the combustion products can emerge from the flame tube (22).

  • Publication number: 20040163192
    Abstract: The invention concerns a pig scraper for cleaning the inside wall of a coating agent conduit. The pig scraper includes a body insertable in the conduit and at least one sealing lip that seals against the inside wall of the conduit and extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body. A space is defined between the sealing lip and the body to form a pocket for enhancing the sealing of the sealing lip with respect to the conduit. The length of the sealing lip substantially prevents the lip from folding over on itself in response to a change in the direction of movement of the pig scraper in the conduit.

  • Patent number: 6681889
    Abstract: An exhaust muffler for a fuel-operated heating device has upper and lower housing half shells, an exhaust gas through-duct and absorption and reflection chambers. The exhaust muffler is connectable to an exhaust pipe of the heating device. The exhaust gas through-duct has an inlet pipe of a single absorption chamber and a single following reflection chamber that are separated by a partially perforated partition, with double reversal of the exhaust gas flow, and an outlet pipe; the inlet pipe being perforated on the outer surface side, with an S-shaped curved section and a straight end section, and the outlet pipe being a straight outlet pipe, closed on the outer surface side, and the straight section of the inlet pipe runs parallel to, and at a spacing from, an inlet section of the outlet pipe.

  • Publication number: 20030173413
    Abstract: An air heating device for integration into an air-conducting housing arrangement, particularly a housing arrangement of a vehicle air conditioner, includes a burner region, a heat exchanger region with a heat exchanger body, wherein in the heat exchanger body a combustion exhaust gas conducting space is constituted in which flow the hot combustion exhaust gases produced in the combustion in the burner region. At an outer side of the heat exchanger body a heat transfer rib arrangement with numerous heat exchange ribs for the air conducted in the housing arrangement to flow around; wherein at least a portion of the heat transfer ribs are constituted separately from the heat exchanger body and are kept in heat transfer contact with this.

  • Publication number: 20030166391
    Abstract: A cover plate device for a heat exchanger device, especially for a vehicle heater, includes a receiving zone (14) intended to be arranged on the heat exchanger device and to receive a fluid stream leaving the heat exchanger device in a first direction of flow (S1), a mixing zone (22) for mixing the partial fluid streams (F1, F2, F3) leaving the heat exchanger device in different areas and entering the receiving zone (14), and at least two delivery zones (24, 26) for delivering the fluid stream leaving the mixing zone (22) from the cover plate device (10).

  • Publication number: 20030118964
    Abstract: A combustion chamber assembly for a heating device includes a combustion chamber housing which forms a combustion chamber, and an ignition member which projects with an ignition section into the combustion chamber. An evaporator medium, surrounding the combustion chamber radially outward at least regionally, is provided on an outer circumferential wall, bounding the combustion chamber radially outward, of the combustion chamber housing, into which evaporator medium fuel to be evaporated is introduced through the outer circumferential wall.
