DEVICE FOR HEATING AT LEAST ONE COMPONENT, IN PARTICULAR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE OF A VEHICLE

摘要

A device (1) for heating at least one component (21), the device (1) comprising: —a pipe (2) capable of conveying a reaction fluid, —a reactor (3) capable of receiving a reagent likely to cause an exothermic reaction with the reaction fluid, the reactor (3) comprising at least one inlet for reaction fluid linked to the pipe (2) and at least one outlet for reaction fluid linked to the pipe (2), and —a circuit (10) for regenerating the reagent, the device comprising a generator (4) configured to generate a pressure lower than that inside the reactor (3) in an area of the pipe (4).

1. A device for heating at least one component, the device comprising:
a pipe able to carry a reaction fluid; a reactor able to receive a reagent capable of bringing about an exothermal reaction with the reaction fluid, the reactor comprising at least one reaction-fluid inlet connected to the pipe and at least one reaction-fluid outlet connected to the pipe; and a circuit for the regeneration of the reagent, the device comprising a generator configured to generate, in a zone of the pipe, a pressure lower than that in the reactor so as to cause the heat released in the reactor to be transferred into the pipe.
