  • Publication number: 20120090293
    Abstract: An exhaust line of a motor vehicle includes a heat exchanger having a first side for circulating the exhaust gases and a second side for circulating a heat exchange fluid, and a closed recovery cycle for one portion of the heat energy of the exhaust gases, in which said heat exchange fluid circulates, wherein the second side of the heat exchanger is inserted inside the closed cycle. The heat exchanger includes an intermediate wall interposed between the first and second sides of the heat exchanger. The intermediate wall comprises at least one closed cavity including a phase change material. The intermediate wall has a first exchange surface in thermal contact with the exhaust gases and a second exchange surface in thermal contact with the heat exchange fluid.

  • Patent number: 8104273
    Abstract: This exhaust manifold (12) includes: an outer casing (18) includes: an outer shell (22); a flange (24) which is welded to the outer shell (22) and which has a surface (24B) for abutment against an engine cylinder head and at least one aperture (28) which opens at the abutment surface (24A), at least one inner channel (20) which is arranged in the outer casing (18) and which opens via an aperture (28). The or each inner channel (20) is formed from a ceramic material; and extends from one side to the other of the flange (24) through the or each aperture (28) and comprises a continuation (32) outside the outer casing (18) which extends outwards beyond the abutment surface (24A).
