  • Patent number: 10927797
    Abstract: An exhaust valve includes a body defining a passage and a flap that pivots about an axis relative to the body to selectively close/open the passage. An actuator moves the flap and a device couples the flap to the actuator. This coupling device comprises: a compression spring having a proximal end that rotates about the axis with a first element between the flap and an actuator output shaft and a distal end; a seat engaged with the distal end, while the seat is fixed in rotation about the axis with the first element, and a torsionally-rigid transmission member fixed in rotation about the axis with the first element and that immobilizes the distal end relative to the proximal end in a plane that is orthogonal to the axis. The transmission member has a slot that is elongated parallel to the axis and is traversed by the distal end.

  • Publication number: 20190170034
    Abstract: The device includes an upstream pipe, extending along a first direction, and in which at least one purification member is housed, a first downstream pipe, extending along a second direction, and in which at least one heat exchanger is housed, and a second downstream pipe configured to be connected to an exhaust gas outlet tube. The device also includes an intermediate chamber comprising an exhaust gas inlet communicating with the upstream pipe, downstream from the at least one purification member, a first exhaust gas outlet communicating with the first downstream pipe, and a second exhaust gas outlet communicating with the second downstream pipe. The first direction and the second direction form an angle between them comprised between 0° and 90°.

  • Patent number: 10167785
    Abstract: An exhaust line element comprises a valve body, a shutter, a pivot link connecting the shutter to the valve body, an upstream tube, and a downstream tube. At least one first stopper is attached on an inner surface of the valve body. The shutter abuts against the first stopper in the closing off position. The first stopper defines a longitudinal position of at least one of the upstream tube and the downstream tube relative to the valve body.

  • Patent number: 9058041
    Abstract: An assembly provides a proportioned gas flow and includes a device that provides a pressurized flow of said gas, a release unit that releases the proportioned gas flow, and a chamber having an inlet fluidically connected to the device and an outlet fluidically connected to the release unit. The assembly further includes an admission valve inserted between the inlet of the chamber and the device, a metering valve inserted between the outlet of the chamber and the release unit, and a computer programmed to control the admission valve and the metering valve to provide a proportioned gas flow to the release unit. The assembly further comprises a calibrated orifice inserted between the outlet of the chamber and the release unit.
