HEATING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE HAVING AN EXHAUST SYSTEM

A heating system for use on an exhaust system having an exhaust gas passageway, the engine having a cooling system to circulate a cooling fluid to and from the engine, includes a fuel-dosing member for dosing fuel to the exhaust system to trigger a regeneration event. A particulate filter is located on the exhaust gas passageway downstream of the engine, and an oxidation catalyst member is located upstream from the particulate filter. The oxidation catalyst member oxidizes the fuel dosed to increase the temperature of the exhaust gases. The increased temperature causes a regeneration event at the particulate filter, which further increases the temperature of the exhaust gases. A heat exchanger is located downstream of the particulate filter for capturing heat from the exhaust gases. The heat exchanger has an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit for circulating the cooling fluid from the heat exchanger to the engine cooling system.

DEVICE FOR SEPARATION OF ELECTRIC SIGNALS

METHOD FOR INCREASING THE FLOW DENSITY OF HEAT EXCHANGERS TRAVERSED AT A HIGH SPEED BY A LEAST ONE GAZ,AND HEAT EXCHANGER DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING SUCH METHOD

To increase the flow density in heat exchangers (70) traversed at a high speed by at least one gaz and applied preferably to motor vehicles, the acceleration energy of the gaz is provided by the exhaust gaz of the engine. Such method allows the use of a radiator for heating (70) the vehicle or cooling (156) the engine to accumulate and increase the energy provided by the exhaust gaz. When the engine is not working hard and requires only little cooling, the residual energy of the exhaust gaz may be used to increase the flow density in the exchanger (70) and heat the vehicle; when the engine is working very hard and the heating demand is low, the flow density in the exchanger may be increased for the cooling of the engine. Preferably, the heat exchanger device is provided with an accumulator engageable in the circuit (14) of the exhaust gaz for the heating of the vehicle.

Climate control method for hybrid vehicles using thermoelectric devices

The present invention provides a system for controlling the climate of a hybrid vehicle. The system includes a thermoelectric module, a heat exchanger, a pump, and a valve. The thermoelectric module includes thermoelectric elements powered by electric energy. The thermoelectric elements emit or absorb heat energy based on the polarity of the electrical energy provided. A tube containing coolant runs proximate the thermoelectric elements. To aid in the transfer of heat energy, a blower is provided to generate an air flow across the thermoelectric elements and the tube. The coolant is provided from the thermoelectric module to a heat exchanger that heats or cools the air flow provided to the cabin of the vehicle. The pump and valve are in fluid communication with the heat exchanger and thermoelectric module. The pump pressurizes the coolant flow through the tube and coolant lines. In a cooling mode, the valve is configured to selectively bypass the engine coolant system of the vehicle.
