Abstract
Three-way heating shell, in particular for a motor vehicle fluid circuit, said shell being generally T-shaped or Y-shaped and comprising an inner passage having the same shape, in which passage a three-way fluid connection is intended to be housed, the shell being formed by two half-shells (10a) having the same shape which are attached to one another and together define the passage, the half-shells comprising semi-cylindrical surfaces (22, 24, 26) forming portions of the passage, the heating shell being characterised in that it comprises resistive heating circuits (28a, 28b) which are formed in situ on the semi-cylindrical surfaces.
Claims23
A heating shell for three-way connector, in particular for a motor vehicle fluid circuit, this shell having a general T or Y shape and comprising an internal passage of the same shape in which a three-way fluidic connector is intended to be housed, the shell being formed by two half-shells of the same shape attached to each other and delimiting said passage between them, the half-shells comprising semi-cylindrical surfaces forming segments of the passage, and wherein the heating shell further comprises resistive heating circuits which are formed in situ on said semi-cylindrical surfaces.
