  • Patent number: 9211792
    Abstract: A vehicle fuel tank arrangement is provided for a fuel that includes at least a first fluid and a second fluid. The tank arrangement includes a tank and a partition wall arranged inside the tank in order to create at least a first compartment for storing the first fluid and a second compartment for storing the second fluid. The position of the partition all inside the tank can be changed to set the volume of the first compartment and the second compartment to predetermined values.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8646258
    Abstract: The mixing system includes a mixing chamber in which exhaust gases can flow in a flow direction, a nozzle designed to inject a fluid inside the mixing chamber, according to an injection direction, and an evaporating device positioned inside the mixing chamber, downstream from the injection inlet. The nozzle and the evaporating device are movable one with respect to the other, so that a substantial portion of the flow of the fluid injected into the mixing chamber hits the evaporating device regardless of the flow rate of the exhaust gases.

  • Publication number: 20110167809
    Abstract: An engine arrangement including an internal combustion engine and an energy recovering system includes an exhaust line collecting exhaust gas from the engine, a filter having an active portion inserted between two successive parts of the exhaust line, in order to hold the particles contained in the exhaust gas, and filter rotating means designed to rotate the filter so as to shift the active portion of the filter, a secondary line carrying intake air towards an area of said filter distinct from the active portion, according to a direction opposite from an exhaust gas flowing direction inside the filter, so as to sweep the particles away from the filter and release them downstream, inside the secondary line. The secondary line includes a first arrangement, located downstream from the filter, for burning the particles and thereby heating air flowing in the secondary line, and a second arrangement capable of recovering the heat into work.
