  • Patent number: 10584898
    Abstract: A system for heating a work fluid and for air circulation comprises a plurality of collectors fitted top-to-top in one or more columns, such that air ducts of the modules constitute a single duct along a column, wherein the solar collector comprises: one solar radiation planar absorber with one anterior face exposed to solar radiation and another posterior face affixed to the work fluid piping; one duct for exchanging heat with the planar absorber via the air duct which has its air inlet and outlet on opposite tops of the solar collector. The system can additionally comprise a descendent air duct to collect air from the upper part of the building and to supply air to the lower side of one or more columns of the facade.

  • Publication number: 20180372094
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a variable displacement vane pump, in particular for oil, comprising a body having a cavity wherein a movable ring slides in the longitudinal direction over the rotor which rotates around an axis and which is provided with vanes which are radially supported on the inner surface of the fixed ring of fixed eccentricity relative to the rotation axis of the rotor, and with movement means in the longitudinal direction of the movable ring according to a pilot pressure between a position corresponding to the maximum volume of the plurality of chambers, the return elastic spring being in this position at its maximum length, and a predetermined end position corresponding to the minimum volume of the plurality of chambers, the return elastic spring being in this position at its minimum length by action of the displacement in the longitudinal direction of the movable wall which occurs simultaneously to the longitudinal displacement of the plurality of vanes and of the movable ring.
