  • Publication number: 20150328955
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ventilation device (1) for a ventilation unit of a motor vehicle passenger compartment, comprising: an impeller (4) that generates an air flow (11, 12) and can be driven by an electric motor; and a printed circuit board (15) having secured thereto at least one electronic component (19) that can release calories. The printed circuit board (15) comprises at least one through-hole (18) provided in a part (21) of the printed circuit board (15). The ventilation device (1) is configured such that the air flow (11, 12) generated by the impeller (4) moves along said part (21) of the printed circuit board (15).

  • Patent number: 8742787
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a power supply module (100) for an electrical device (10), in particular using direct current, the power supply module (100) including a capacitor-input filter (120) arranged in parallel on the electrical device (10). The power supply module (100) comprises a means (130, 200) for detecting the discharge current (Icc) supplied by the capacitor-input filter (120) following a short-circuit in the power supply module (100). The invention can be used the power supply circuits of automobile electrical devices, in particular the motors of an electric fan unit for creating an air flow in heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning systems.

  • Publication number: 20050253698
    Abstract: Smart network comprising at least one peripheral (101, 102, . . . , 10n) connected to a node (N1, N2, . . . , Nn) of said network, said node being identified by means of a resistive system (130; 130a, 130b) connected to a common conductor (14, 16, 18) of the smart network. According to the invention, said resistive system comprises a resistive element (130; 130a) integrated with said common conductor, the peripheral being arranged in parallel with said integrated resistive element. Application to air conditioning installations in motor vehicles.
