Abstract
A pipe fitting for a heatable piping of a SCR (“Selective Catalytic Reduction”) system presents a body defining a hydraulic connection to make flow an urea solution from/to such piping; the pipe fitting further presenting an electrical connection, which is provided with a first terminal connectable to an electrical power supply, and with a second terminal connectable to a heating element of the piping (9); the electrical connection being also provided with an electrical resistor embedded in the body of the pipe fitting, whose material is a polymeric base and is thermally conductive to heat up the urea solution when the electrical resistor is powered.
Claims14
A pipe fitting for a heatable piping of a SCR system;
- the pipe fitting comprising a body made of a polymeric base material and defining a hydraulic connection to make an urea solution flow from/to said piping;
- characterised in that said polymeric base material is thermally conductive, and in that it comprises electrical connection means carried by said body and comprising:
- a first terminal electrically connected to an electrical power supply circuit, an electrical heating element embedded in said body and electrically connected to said first terminal, and a second terminal electrically connected to said first terminal, and electrically connectable to a further electrical heating element of said piping.
