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.
