Abstract:
A dosing valve includes at least a valve housing with a duct, a valve body being movable in order to open and close the dosing valve and a spring exerting a spring force on the valve body and thus holding the valve body in a rest position. The spring is supported on at least one calibration body. The valve body, the spring and the at least one calibration body are disposed in the duct. The at least one calibration body is fastened in the valve housing at least by using a cohesive or material connection.

Abstract:
A delivery unit for extracting liquid additive from a tank can be mounted on the tank and includes a fill level sensor for measuring the fill level of liquid additive in the tank. The fill level sensor is set up to emit waves into an emission region of the tank, and the fill level can be measured by using a propagation time measurement of the waves reflected by a liquid surface and striking the fill level sensor again. At least one first reference surface extends at least partially into the emission region and is at a first distance from the fill level sensor. The at least one first reference surface is disposed on a separate calibration component mounted on an outer side of a housing of the delivery unit. A tank for storing liquid additive, a motor vehicle and a method for monitoring a fill level are also provided.
Abstract:
An apparatus for providing liquid additive includes a tank for the liquid additive which has at least one heat distribution structure for distributing heat in a first tank section. A delivery unit is inserted into the tank for removing the liquid additive from the tank. The delivery unit includes at least one heating device. The heating device of the delivery unit and the heat distribution structure of the tank are connected to each other by at least one thermal coupling. A method for assembling the apparatus and a motor vehicle having the apparatus are also provided.
Abstract:
A delivery unit for delivering a liquid additive in a motor vehicle, includes at least one temperature sensor for contactlessly measuring a temperature at least at one measurement point in the delivery unit. The temperature sensor and the measurement point have a spacing therebetween and a radiation channel which is free from fixtures is provided between the temperature sensor and the measurement point. A method for checking the operating state of a delivery unit and a motor vehicle having a delivery unit are also provided.
Abstract:
An exhaust-gas treatment device includes a honeycomb body wound and/or stacked with at least partially structured sheet-metal layers forming channels through which an exhaust gas can flow in axial direction from an inlet side to an outlet side. A first section of the sheet-metal layers ends flush at a first end surface associated with at least one of the sides and a second section of the sheet-metal layers ends at a second end surface associated with at least one of the sides. A spacing is provided between the first and second end surfaces because a first axial length of the first section is greater than a second axial length of the second section. The spacing forms a receptacle receiving a heating body, producing a simple electrically heatable exhaust-gas treatment device into which a heating body can be integrated during or after production of the honeycomb body.
Abstract:
A device for exhaust gas treatment in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle, includes an electrically heatable honeycomb body through which an exhaust gas can flow. The honeycomb body is disposed in a casing tube and has at least one current-conducting structure with electric insulation for voltages greater than 24 V. A current-generating pulsed voltage is applied to the structure to heat the honeycomb body. It is thus possible for heating elements in the exhaust-gas flow to be powered by an on-board electrical system voltage of for example 48 V. A method for operating the honeycomb body is provided with which, even at operating voltages greater than 24 V, the generation of heat in the electrically heatable honeycomb body can be kept in a desired range by adjustment of a pulse width and/or repetition frequency of the pulsed voltage.
Abstract:
An injection device for the metering or addition of a liquid additive into an exhaust gas treatment device, includes an outlet region to be brought into contact with the exhaust gas treatment device, a connector region spaced apart from the outlet region and having a fluid-line connector, and a duct or channel for the additive extending from the connector region to the outlet region. A valve controls the metering or addition of the additive, and at least one heat-flow adjustment device defines a direction of freezing in the duct from the outlet region towards the connector region. A method for freezing an injection device, a method for producing an injection device and a motor vehicle are also provided.
Abstract:
A method for operating a reducing agent delivery unit having a tank, a feed line running from the tank to an addition point, a return line branching off from the feed line and a valve to be activated with an electrical current for closing off the return line, includes initially applying an activation current to the valve for a first time interval. Subsequently, a holding current is applied to the valve when the first time interval has elapsed. Then, an operating variable of the delivery unit is determined and at least the activation current, the holding current and/or the first time interval are adapted as a function of the determined operating variable. A motor vehicle having a delivery unit is also provided.
Abstract:
A device for delivering reducing agent from a tank to a metering unit includes a pulsating delivery pump for delivering reducing agent in a delivery direction through a delivery line from the tank to the metering unit. The delivery line includes at least two separate ducts in regions downstream of the delivery pump in the delivery direction. The ducts form flow paths having different propagation times for the reducing agent. This leads, in particular, to cost-effective noise reduction for such delivery systems. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.
