20130062130 | Electric or Hybrid Motor Vehicle Bodywork Structure, This Vehicle, and Method for Controlling/Modifying the Temperature of the Passenger Compartment Thereof - A bodywork structure for controlling or modifying the temperature of a passenger compartment of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle is provided. The bodywork structure includes at least one interior and exterior panel and one intermediate layer between the panels, each panel being based on a thermally conducting and electrically insulating material. The intermediate layer has at least one phase change material PCM and electric components coupled to it and is configured to be connected to an accumulator battery and which are able to convert the electrical energy available when the battery is being recharged into thermal energy stored by the PCM, so that the stored thermal energy is then transmitted to the interior of the vehicle when the latter is in use thanks to crystallizing of the at least one PCM, which is conversely able, by melting, to absorb an excess of heat inside the vehicle when this PCM is not recharged. | 03-14-2013 |
20140027003 | Rubber Composition Based On At Least One EPDM And A Phase-Change Material, Pipe Incorporating Same And Process For Preparing This Composition - The present invention relates to a crosslinked rubber composition based on at least one elastomer of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer type (EPDM) and on at least one phase-change material (PCM), to a process for preparing this composition and to a multilayer pipe incorporating it. This composition includes at least 100 phr (phr: parts by weight per one hundred parts of elastomer(s)) of at least one phase-change material (PCM), and it is such that said at least one PCM is dispersed in the crosslinked composition and is provided with protection means that are capable of preventing its dispersion therein at a temperature above its melting point, which composition has a breaking strength of greater than 3 MPa and/or an elongation at break of greater than 100%, these properties being measured at 23° C. according to standard ASTM D 412. | 01-30-2014 |
20140030458 | Rubber Composition Based on a Silicone Elastomer and on a PCM, Process for the Preparation Thereof, Flexible Element and Thermal Control/Regulating System Incorporating Same - A crosslinked rubber composition, process for preparing same, and a flexible component based on at least one room-temperature vulcanizing “RTV” silicone elastomer and including at least one phase change material (PCM) is provided. The flexible element includes at least one elastomer layer capable of storing thermal energy and of releasing it which includes the crosslinked rubber composition. Also provided is a thermal control or regulating system incorporating the flexible element. The composition is such that the silicone elastomer has a viscosity measured at 23° C. according to the ISO 3219 standard which is less than or equal to 5000 mPa.s. The silicone elastomer inlcudes two components A and B and is crosslinked by polyaddition or polycondensation, and the composition includes the PCM, which is not encapsulated and is in the micronized state, in an amount of greater than 50 phr (phr: parts by weight per hundred parts per elastomer(s)). | 01-30-2014 |
20150267400 | Thermally insulating composition for organic monolithic gel, use thereof and process for preparing same - Provided is a gelled carbon-based composition forming an organic polymeric monolithic gel capable of forming a porous carbon monolith by pyrolysis, a use thereof and a process for preparing this composition. A composition according to the invention is based on a resin derived at least partly from polyhydroxybenzene(s) R and formaldehyde(s) F, has a thermal conductivity of less than or equal to 40 mW·m | 09-24-2015 |

20090145449 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPILING GROUPS OF FILTER SEGMENTS WHEN PRODUCING MULTI-SEGMENT FILTER ASEMBLIES - A method of making segmented filters including moving substantially identical segments of one type at uniform rate to a transferring element, which places each segment separately on an exit path. Setting of the filter segments in a repeating group on the exit path is accomplished by delay in collecting segments by a transferring element in each module of the apparatus. Uniform positioning is effected using the transferring element which includes uniformly spaced drivers, and non-uniform positioning is effected using the transferring element with non-uniformly spaced drivers. The apparatus includes a guiding element positioned adjacent to a cutting drum and has a wall closing a channel for a set of segments drawn out of a flute on the drum. The filter set is led through the channel with the aid of a dog of a chain and is advanced by a worm surface of a pushing together drum. A separator positioned at the end of the channel which separates single filter segments and may be a disc cam pushing out the segment onto the transferring element between two neighbouring drivers into a chamber created by a supporting element. A stream of compressed air from nozzle directed towards the area between a shoe guide and separator helps separate and stabilize the filter segment. | 06-11-2009 |

20140021014 | DEVICE FOR TRANSFERRING FILTER SEGMENTS IN THE PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING MULTI-SEGMENT FILTER RODS - Device for transferring cylindrical segments from a hopper onto a grouping belt is provided with a guiding drum, having flutes on its periphery and a circumferentially closed conveyor which delivers segments to a rotary element with pushers. Conveyor with seats with a catching element for catching segments, and transferring the segments from the conveyor to the element is effected by means of a spiral drum. The device has a push-down element constituted by a cam with a groove of a height corresponding to the diameter of the segment. The catching element has the form of a depression in the body of the seat shaped as a half of a cylinder, corresponding to the diameter of the segment, with locks on edges, whereas the axis of the depression is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the conveyor. | 01-23-2014 |
