Patent EP-1112873-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MINGRINO FABIO
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2000-12-18
Abstract: The system (10) comprises a circuit (12) in which a working
fluid is subjected to a thermodynamic cycle and which
includes a compressor (14) connected to a condenser (16)
followed by an expansion device (18) and then by a heat
exchanger (20) which can act as an evaporator and as a
condenser and the output of which is connected to the input
(14b) of the compressor (14). A by-pass duct (36) has one
end connected between the compressor (14) and the condenser
(16) and the other end connected to the input of the heat
exchanger (20). Switching solenoid valves (26, 34, 19) adopt
a first and a second operative condition in which the by-pass
duct (36) is excluded from and connected in the circuit
(12), respectively, so that, in the first condition, the
system (10) operates as a cooling system and the heat
exchanger (20) acts as an evaporator and, in the second
condition, the system (10) operates as a heating system with
a heat pump and the exchanger (20) acts as a condenser. A
further heat exchanger (24) is interposed between the heat
exchanger (20) and the intake of the compressor (14) and can
act, in the first and second operative conditions of the
solenoid valves (26, 34, 19), respectively, as an
accumulator for the working fluid in the liquid state, and
as an evaporator. The further heat exchanger (24) is
connected to the liquid engine-coolant circuit (30) by means
of a variable-flow solenoid valve (32) controlled in a
manner such as to bring about controlled superheating of the
working fluid which enters the compressor (14) in the
gaseous state, in dependence on its detected temperature,
when detected, when the system is operating as a cooler.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un écouteur interne pour examens audiométriques, qui comporte un logement, un récepteur disposé dans ledit logement, un embout acoustique souple disposé à l'extérieur dudit logement, et un raccord tubulaire couplé acoustiquement entre le récepteur et l'embout acoustique flexible. L'embout acoustique souple comporte une partie tubulaire souple qui est couplée à une extrémité de sortie du raccord tubulaire, qui peut être rigide. Le logement et le raccord tubulaire sont conçus et disposés de sorte que l'angle entre l'axe longitudinal du raccord tubulaire et l'axe vertical soit obtus, ce qui minimise la contrainte imposée au canal auditif lorsque l'embout auditif souple y est inséré. Un dispositif d'absorption acoustique peut être disposé au niveau ou à proximité de l'extrémité d'entrée du raccord tubulaire afin d'empêcher le cérumen d'obturer le dispositif d'absorption et de réduire au minimum le besoin de remplacement du dispositif d'absorption.
