  • Patent number: 11815052
    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler includes: a housing including a cavity in which a plurality of tubes are received, and including a coolant inlet conduit allowing a coolant to flow into the cavity therethrough and a coolant outlet conduit allowing the coolant to be discharged from the cavity therethrough; a bypass conduit provided in parallel to the housing; an inlet header sealingly mounted on a first end portion of the housing; and an outlet header sealingly mounted on a second end portion of the housing. The inlet header may include an EGR valve housing, a bypass valve housing, and a cooling chamber defined in the EGR valve housing and the bypass valve housing, and the cooling chamber may be fluidly connected to the cavity of the housing through the coolant outlet conduit.

  • Patent number: 11614056
    Abstract: A throttle valve heating control apparatus of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system for a combustion engine includes a heat source installed in a valve housing and operated when receiving a voltage from a battery of a vehicle, a first sensor unit configured to measure a temperature of outside air of the vehicle, a second sensor unit configured to measure the voltage of the battery, and a controller configured to selectively control an operation of the heat source when the temperature of the outside air and the voltage satisfy a predetermined condition in a state in which the vehicle is turned on, and to determine whether an operation of the heat source is maintained through re-comparison of the temperature of the outside air in a state in which the heat source is operated.

  • Patent number: 8648379
    Abstract: Provided is a light emitting diode (LED) lamp assembly having an increased light incidence angle by fixing unit LED lamps fixed on a substrate at various angles. The LED lamp assembly includes a substrate having a socket portion and an LED mounting portion, first unit LED modules installed on both surfaces of the substrate and irradiating light onto the both surfaces of the substrate in a frontward direction, and second unit LED modules irradiating light onto the both surface of the substrate in directions other than the frontward direction. In the LED lamp assembly, since first and second unit LED modules having light irradiation units formed at different positions are installed on both surfaces of a single substrate, light can be irradiated in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 7097706
    Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a non-calcined clay composite used as building materials capable of promoting humans' health and being desirably used irrespective of location, which is improved in terms of strength without calcining clay. Because the non-calcined clay composite is produced without calcining clay, the process of producing it is simplified and its productivity is improved. The non-calcined clay composite includes 50 to 90 wt % clay, 2 to 30 wt % lime, 4 to 48 wt % blast furnace slag, 0.04 to 0.9 wt % alkaline chemical, and water as a balance, and has high compression strength due to an ionic coagulation reaction, a pozzolan reaction, and a latent hydraulic reaction.
