  • Patent number: 10208719
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) for the thermal management of the intake air of an internal combustion engine (3) equipped with a turbocharger (5), said device comprising: a first heat exchanger (7) placed in the air intake circuit (9), a second heat exchanger (10) placed on the main exhaust line (12) and connected to the first heat exchanger (7) to form a heating loop (A), said thermal management device (1) furthermore comprising a so-called low-pressure exhaust gas recuperation system (14), comprising a first take-off (141) placed downstream of the turbine (5b), an outlet (142) placed upstream of the compressor (5a), and a control valve (140), the second heat exchanger (10) being placed between the turbine (5b) and the first take-off (141), the main exhaust line (12) comprising a take-off branch (26) between a second take-off (201) placed on the main exhaust line (12) upstream of the second heat exchanger (10), a take-off device (200) able to manage the circulation of the exhaust gases, and

  • Patent number: 9441578
    Abstract: A manifold distributes gases into intake ducts of a motor vehicle combustion engine. The intake ducts are distributed in at least two distant groups, each duct of one group supplying one and the same cylinder of the engine as a duct of the other group. The manifold includes a manifold casing through which a flow of intake gases can flow, and an injection duct for injecting a flow of recirculated exhaust gases into the flow of intake gases. The casing is capable of directing the flow of intake gases and the flow of recirculated exhaust gases toward the intake ducts of the engine, and the injection duct is arranged inside the manifold casing so as to be able to be positioned between the two groups of intake ducts.
