  • Patent number: 9500299
    Abstract: A thermal management valve module having separate first and second flow chambers is provided, with one or more respective inlets and outlets connected to each of the flow chambers. A first valve body is rotatably positioned in the first flow chamber, and includes a fluid pathway that connects a first and/or third inlet to a first outlet, which allows separate or mixed flows, or blocks the flow, based on the valve body position. A second valve body is rotatably positioned in the second flow chamber, and includes a fluid pathway that connects a second and/or fourth inlet to a second outlet, which allows separate or mixed flows, or blocks the flow, based on the valve body position. At least one actuator controls the positions of the first and second valve bodies.

  • Patent number: 8608010
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing element fastening system for at least one sealing element of a pressure vessel, which has at least one opening and a sealing part, in particular a cover, provided for the opening. In the operating state of the pressure vessel each sealing element is at least partially inserted in an accommodating groove in the sealing part and corresponding sealing element fastening devices are positioned in each case in an indentation in the sealing part. The indentations are in each case sealed by a fill element in the operating state of the pressure vessel.

  • Patent number: 5014501
    Abstract: The apparatus has, at a first level (N1), a turntable (4) mounted to rotate about a substantially vertical axis (5) and including receptacles (9) distributed over its periphery to receive boxes (2) during passage past a first work station, and for moving them incrementally, in the course of the rotation of the turntable, to various successive work stations, and, at a level (N3) different from the first, a conveyor (A) for moving the article to a station, vertically below a box (2) in the open state, a displacement device (169) being further provided to introduce the article (1) into the box (2) by a substantially vertical motion, and, at an intermediate level (N2) located between the level (N1) of the boxes and the level (N3) at which the articles are supplied, a stack of precut sheets (17) of corrugated cardboard (3) is provided and a suction device for grasping the sheets (17) one at a time for introducing them into a shaper device (18) provided at the intermediate level (N2), in correspondence with each re

  • Patent number: 4836013
    Abstract: The device comprises a conveyor for displacing the containers to be tested in translation in relation to a tunnel-shaped fixed enclosure and comprising internally a heating means. This heating means is constituted by a plurality of infrared lamps each of which is protected by a casing having a side transparent to the radiation emitted. An automatic monitoring device checks that each container entering the tunnel leaves it after a given advance of the conveyor, otherwise a safety device is triggered. The device can be used for testing the mechanical strength of pressurized containers of the aerosol can type on a continuous production line.
