Abstract: A fuel valve for a fuel flow injection circuit, operating on electrical energy rather than hydraulic energy. The fuel valve has a valve body, a first fuel inlet opening, and a distribution assembly having a plug rotating in a bushing, the plug and bushing each having an opening slit. The valve body includes a fuel outlet opening section made by an overlapping area between the opening in the bushing and the opening in the plug. A plug position unit is provided to control a position of the plug in rotation, and the plug position unit is disposed in the valve body. The valve body further contains an electric motor that drives a rotation of a reduction gear assembly, the reduction gear assembly comprising an input shaft and an output pinion. The plug comprises a toothed sector engaging on the splines of the reduction gear assembly output pinion such that rotating the electric motor causes a rotation of the plug.

Abstract: Active composite consisting of a compressed support and of at least one agent which is active towards a gas, the compressed support including recompressed expanded graphite which has a density of between 0.02 and 1.5. According to the invention the active composite is made up of a series of sheets superposed one above the other, the active agent being dispersed in the flakes.

Abstract: A reactor for a chemical heat pump including a sealed container provided with a heating and cooling system and having an inside wall, and a solid reagent having an outer surface and disposed in the container, which solid reagent reacts reversibly with a reagent gas inside the container, the solid reagent having dimensions such that a space is defined between the outer surface of the solid reagent and the inside wall of the container. A fluid contact material occupies at least part of the space, the fluid contact material being a good conductor of heat and chemically inert relative to the solid reagent.

Abstract: An active composite consists of a compressed support and an agent which reacts with a gas. According to the invention, the compressed support comprises recompressed expanded graphite having a density between 0.02 and 1.5. A process for implementing gas-solid type reactions in which said active composite is used as the reaction medium is also described.
