Publication number: 20260168738Abstract: A heat exchanger for heat exchange between a first fluid and a second fluid includes a first manifold, a second manifold spaced apart from the first manifold, a plurality of flat tubes, and a bottle. The second manifold is substantially parallel with respect to the first manifold. The plurality of flat tubes is stacked between the first manifold and the second manifold. The plurality of flat tubes is configured to provide the fluidal communication between the first manifold and the second manifold. The bottle is fluidly connected to the first manifold and includes at least one passage for the fluid. The heat exchanger includes a first block and a second block, both first and second blocks are fluidly connected to the first manifold), and at least one third block fluidly connected to the first manifold or the second manifold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: June 18, 2026Applicant: VALEO SYSTEMES THERMIQUESInventors: Daniel Pereira, Natalia Ficek, Fernando Fernandes Pereira Da Venda, Mateusz Kaczmarczyk, Patrick Fernandes, Tomasz Stramecki, Lydia Romanet, Mateusz Wrona, Maciej Gurba, Zoulikha Soukeur, Rody El-Chammas, Fabien Leterme, Muriel Porto, Roland Akiki, Laurent Delaforge

Patent number: 9352340Abstract: A device for ejecting an at least diphasic mixture includes an injection inlet for a liquid and a gas, a distribution chamber for producing a first liquid-gas mixture, an ejection nozzle of the first liquid-gas mixture in a main direction defined by an axis-vector. The ejection nozzle has a geometry comprising, on its length at least, a minimal section or neck at a location of the axis-vector. Among others things, due to the nozzle geometry, the expansion obtained inside the ejection nozzle allows the first liquid-gas mixture from the distribution chamber to be converted into a second mixture, according to the flow configuration, consisting for instance of a diphasic mist jet having an ejection range and liquid particle size that can be controlled according to the liquid and gas mass flow and to the absolute pressure at the injection inlet.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2007Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignees: SIEMENS S.A.S., UNIVERSITE GRENOBLE ALPES, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE(CNRS)Inventors: Thibaut Bourrilhon, Bernard Dusser, Patrick Fernandes, Jean-Paul Thibault

Patent number: 8800672Abstract: A propulsion device for an agent, such as an extinguishing or cooling agent, contained in a cavity has at least a cap and a port configured to open above a calibrated pressure inside the cavity. A pressure generator is fastened to the cap and triggers the propulsion of the agent. The pressure generator has at least two containers, each having an exit ending inside the cavity and releasing a propulsion gas. At least one container is pressurized with an inert-type gas, such as helium, suited for minimal temperature fluctuations induced inside the cavity during a relief of pressure of the gas from at least one of the containers. When the gas expands it is the direct mechanical propellant of the agent.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2007Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Siemens S.A.S.Inventors: Vincent Cerfeuillet, Patrick Fernandes

Patent number: 7797842Abstract: A multi-functional carpentry tool includes a base member having a longitudinal T-shaped groove formed therewithin and a rule member. A T-shaped slide member is positioned within the groove and has a threaded aperture formed therewithin. A knob has a threaded stem operatively received within the threaded aperture for selectively securing the base member and the rule member together in frictional engagement maintaining the base member and the rule member in selected positions relative to one another and permitting each of a sliding and pivoting movement of the rule member relative to the base member. Linear measuring scale indicia is provided in each of the base and rule members. Angular measuring scale indicia and a squaring groove is also provided within the base member. A spring biased pin is movably mounted within the knob for defining pivot axis and facilitating arc scribing effort.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2008Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Inventor: Patrick Fernandes
