  • Valve with bypass duct incorporating a heating member and combustion engine intake circuit with preheating of the air
    Patent number: 8479714
    Abstract: A valve for a combustion engine air intake circuit, where the valve includes a main pipe and a bypass duct with upstream and downstream ends opening into the main pipe. The valve also includes a heating member that is positioned in the bypass duct and a shut-off member mounted such that it can move between a first position in which airflow can pass through the main pipe and a second position in which airflow can pass through the bypass duct.

  • DEVICE FOR STARTING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, PARTICULARLY A DIESEL ENGINE
    Publication number: 20100031911
    Abstract: A method and a device for starting a diesel engine with no heater plugs, comprising pistons and cylinders defining combustion chambers into which gases intended to participate in combustion are admitted, in which method a strategy is adopted whereby the gases present in the chambers are heated up in such a way as to raise them to a minimum temperature within the entire volume defined by the chambers when the pistons are in the position of maximum compression or close to that position. The gases are heated by compressing the air in the cylinders using an electrical machine, or using a heating system in the intake.
