  • Patent number: 11821354
    Abstract: This compressed air generation system (12) for an automotive vehicle (V) comprises: —a turbocompressor (4) feeding an internal combustion engine (2) of the automotive vehicle (V) with compressed air, —an air compressor (8), —at least one compressed air tank (10) connected to an outlet pipe (82) of the air compressor (8), the air compressor (8) comprising an inlet pipe (80) fed with compressed air from the turbocompressor (4). The compressed air generation system (12) comprises a pressure regulator (14) placed downstream the turbocompressor (4) and upstream the air compressor (8) and which limits the pressure (P8) of the compressed air fed from the turbocompressor (4) to the air compressor (8) to a first threshold (T1).

  • Patent number: 11320008
    Abstract: Method for measuring wear of a clutch including a casing, a first shaft member including a friction disk, a second shaft member, an interface member mounted on the second shaft member and including a friction disk, a biasing member urging the interface member towards the engaged position, an actuation device including a contact part moveable between a rest position in which a gap exists between the contact part and the biasing member, and an active position in which the contact part is in contact with the biasing member so as to let the interface member move towards the disengaged position, the wear measurement method including injecting pressurized fluid so as to put the contact part in contact with the biasing member, measuring an injection parameter related to the gap, determining the gap based on the injection parameter.
