Abstract: The refrigeration system of the invention comprises a vapor generator member connected to a condenser which is itself connected, by way of a pressure reduction valve, to an evaporator connected to an absorber which receives the liquid present in the lower zone of the generator and from which liquid is fed to the upper zone of the generator, there being provided in the generator a heat exchanger through which the engine cooling liquid flows, the generator member and absorber member containing a refrigerant fluid and an absorbent fluid, the absorbent fluid being able to absorb or dissolve the refrigerant fluid, which can itself be distilled or separated from the absorbent fluid by the addition of heat which is supplied to the generator by the heat exchanger present in it, and be condensed and vaporized under the temperature and pressure conditions prevailing in the condenser and evaporator respectively.

Abstract: The filter according to the invention comprises an outer casing which is provided with an end cover having a connection to the engine lubrication circuit. The outer casing houses a first filter pack or element positioned to be passed through by the engine lubricating oil. A pressure relief valve, which allows the oil to bypass the first filter pack or element in the case of excessive pressure drop, is provided. The pressure relief valve cooperates with a piston element associated with an electrically conducting spring to establish electrical connection between an electrical contact and a part of the filter casing. A second filter pack or element is positioned to filter part of the oil which the pressure relief valve allows to pass when a high pressure drop in the oil flow through the first filter pack or element occurs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device connected into an internal combustion engine fuel feed circuit and comprising a filter unit and emulsifier for the engine fuel feed, there being provided two or more fuel intakes located in different positions within said filter unit and a flow disintegrating emulsifier member.

Abstract: The device for visually checking the degree of clogging of an air filter in motor vehicle engines according to the invention comprises a tubular duct closed at one end and provided with a wall of filter material communicating with an outlet pipe connectable to the engine combustion air intake manifold downstream of the filter, in the side walls of the tubular duct there being provided at least one transparent region opposite the filter material wall and arranged to allow the surface of the filter material wall to be viewed, the tubular duct being in communication with the external environmental from which the air is drawn.

Abstract: The apparatus of thermoelectric effect for current generation in internal combustion engine vehicles and the like, with recovery of the externally dissipated heat, according to the present invention, comprises a thermoelectric generator provided with several Peltier effect elements undergoing heat transfer with a high-temperature fluid originating from the engine and with a cooling fluid, and possessing electrical conductors connected to their ends across which a thermoelectric e.m.f. is generated, said conductors being connected to an electrical user circuit.

Abstract: The lubricating oil filter of the invention comprises an outer casing which houses a filter element through which the oil passes, a pressure relief valve which prevents the oil passing through said filter element in the case of excessive pressure drop, and mutually facing metal plates separated by the filter element and arranged to form a capacitor, of which the filter element forms the dielectric, one of the plates being connected to the vehicle earth and the other being connected to an electrical conductor leading to the outside of the filter, the pressure relief valve being provided with means for connecting the electrical conductor to earth in the case of high pressure drop in the oil flow through the filter element, and with further means for connecting the electrical conductor to earth following repeated opening movements of the pressure relief valve, there being provided an instrument for measuring the capacitance of said capacitor and for indicating when the electrical conductor has been connected to

Abstract: This invention relates to a free flame burner with turbulent atomisation, which comprises a fuel oil feed pump, a combustion air feed fan and a compressor for feeding a fraction of the gaseous combustion products to a combustion chamber, wherein the fuel oil and said fraction of gaseous combustion products are fed, with mutually opposing rotary motion, to an atomiser nozzle in which the gas and fuel unite turbulently before being fed into the combustion chamber.

Abstract: This invention relates to a fuel feed device for diesel engines, which comprises an intake filter disposed in the fuel tank and with a casing for heat transfer between the recycled fuel and intake fuel by means of mixing, and a filtering, heating and emulsifying unit disposed downstream of the fuel feed pump before the engine injection pumping unit, said filtering, heating and emulsifying unit comprising a filtering element, a surface heat exchanger through which the engine cooling liquid flows, and an emulsifying member of the flow disintegration type.

Abstract: A multiple filter unit in the form of a complete interchangeable unit for insertion into a motor vehicle interior ventilation duct, or into the mouth of air conditioners or into suction-producing apparatus for closed environments, including a rigid casing provided with retention and sealing means, a series of filter elements and/or chemical products and/or electrostatic filtering devices disposed in a predetermined order for filtering solid particulate matter, mists and air pollutant gases, and means for checking the degree of efficiency.
