Abstract: A shielding element, which comprises at least two sections that are embodied to be linearly connected to each other in abutting fashion on at least one contact surface so as to enclose a three-dimensionally shaped profile or pipe segment of an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine over a certain length when in use. In order to modify a shielding element of the above-mentioned type while amplifying its effect with other positive properties, it is proposed for the sections of the shielding element to each comprise at least one electrical heating system, which, in an installed position, is thermally directed at the pipe segment that is to be enclosed.

Abstract: A heat-shielding device with at least one flat shielding layer, the heat-shielding device being equipped and embodied to be suitable for shielding a protected component or region from the heat of a heat source wherein a passive cooling module is connected to the shielding layer in a thermally conductive fashion in at least one area of the at least one shielding layer that is subjected to a high thermal load.

Abstract: The invention relates to a structural component in the form of a heat shield, consisting of at least two interconnected structural layers, of which one structural layer (10) has a first type of depressions (14), which is oriented in the direction of the other structural layer, and of which the other structural layer has a second type of depressions (16), which is oriented in the direction of the first structural layer (10), and which is provided at least partially with a perforation or forms the perforation itself. In that the two structural layers are located on top of one another such that the second type of depressions (16) fits at least partially between the first type of depressions (14) and in that the respective structural layer on its side facing away from the depressions (14, 16) has surface regions (30) with a closed surface, a structural component is formed which requires less installation space and still has good noise-insulating and heat-insulating properties.
