Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device comprises a first heating element made from an electrically conductive material, a second heating element made from an electrically conductive material, and a power supply configured to circulate an electric current in the first heating element and in the second heating element. The power supply comprises a first electrode electrically connected to the first heating element and a second electrode electrically connected to the second heating element. The heating device includes a substrate extending between the first heating element and the second heating element, and a connecting element electrically connecting the first heating element and the second heating element.

Abstract: A purification component comprises at least one block for purifying exhaust gases, and a casing that defines a circulation channel for the exhaust gases extending along a longitudinal axis, and in which the purification block is housed. The casing comprises an inlet portion, an outlet portion, and a central portion arranged between the inlet portion and the outlet portion, and with the central portion surrounding the purification block. A thermal insulator covers the whole of the casing. The thermal insulator comprise a first part, having a first temperature resistance, arranged radially facing the purification block, and a second part, having a second temperature resistance greater than the first temperature resistance, covering at least the inlet portion of the casing.

Abstract: A vehicle exhaust system includes a component housing defining an internal cavity and at least one exhaust gas treatment element positioned within the internal cavity. A resonator volume is connected in parallel with the internal cavity via at least one resonator element and insulating material is located within the resonator volume.

Abstract: A motor vehicle exhaust pipe includes: an outer metal tube; at least one inner tube made from an inorganic matrix composite material and disposed inside the outer metal tube, each inner tube being arranged longitudinally and having a pre-determined longitudinal length and a gap being provided between each inner tube and the outer tube; and elements for maintaining each inner tube in position in relation to the outer tube. The elements for maintaining each inner tube in position in relation to the outer tube include at least one retaining element disposed in the gap between the inner tube and the outer tube, each retaining element exerting a minimum pressure of between 10?4 MPa and 10?1 MPa on the inner tube. All of the elements used to maintain one inner tube in position have a cumulative longitudinal length equal to less than half of the longitudinal length of the inner tube.
