  • Patent number: 8307637
    Abstract: A device for purifying exhaust gases of a vehicle by selective catalytic reduction including a heated piping. The heated piping comprises a fluid conveying pipe including a thermoplastic elastomer, a heating element arranged inside the conveying pipe, and an anti-abrasive layer. Preferably, the conveying pipe is made of a polyolefinic matrix based thermoplastic elastomer in which it is intimately dispersed a dynamically vulcanized and EPDM based elastomeric phase.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 13, 2012
    Assignee: Dayco Fluid Technologies S.p.A.
    Inventors: Franco Colosimo, Mario Zasa, Simone Cavanna
  • Patent number: 8101255
    Abstract: A motor vehicle fuel conveying multi-layer co-extruded tube (1) comprising at least an innermost first layer (2) of a polyamide resin (P9T) consisting of a dicarboxylic acid component and a diamine component, wherein 60÷100% of the dicarboxylic acid component is terephthalic acid and 60÷100% of the diamine component is selected from 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine; an intermediate second layer (3) of polyamide 6 (PA 6); an intermediate co-polyamide (CoPA)-based tie layer (4); and an external fourth layer of polyamide 12 (PA12).

  • Patent number: 8075020
    Abstract: A pipe fitting for a heatable piping of a SCR (“Selective Catalytic Reduction”) system presents a body defining a hydraulic connection to make flow an urea solution from/to such piping; the pipe fitting further presenting an electrical connection, which is provided with a first terminal connectable to an electrical power supply, and with a second terminal connectable to a heating element of the piping (9); the electrical connection being also provided with an electrical resistor embedded in the body of the pipe fitting, whose material is a polymeric base and is thermally conductive to heat up the urea solution when the electrical resistor is powered.
