Abstract:
A device for delivering a liquid additive includes an additive delivery unit and an electronic unit. The additive delivery unit has at least one hydraulic component for delivering the liquid additive. All electrical connections of the at least one hydraulic component are brought together in a first plug connector on the additive delivery unit. The electronic unit has a second plug connector which can be connected to the first plug connector. The first plug connector and the second plug connector are connected to one another and form a plug connection when the electronic unit and the additive delivery unit are connected to one another. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.
Abstract:
An injection device for injecting a fluid into an exhaust-gas treatment device includes an injector positioned in an injector holder. The injector has a supply opening and a component of the injector holder extends into the supply opening. The injection device is suitable, in particular, for supplying a urea/water solution into an exhaust-gas treatment device of a motor vehicle. The component is preferably rigid in the longitudinal direction and can be compressed in the radial direction by way of a deformable rubber shell, in order to compensate for the volumetric expansion of the solution if it freezes. A motor vehicle having the injection device is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for operating a dosing unit for dosing reducing agent into an exhaust gas treatment device for purifying the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, includes providing the dosing unit with at least one delivery pump, at least one injector and a line section for conducting reducing agent from the delivery pump to the injector. The dosing unit is first operated for dosing reducing agent into the exhaust gas treatment device. Then, the dosing unit is shut off. Subsequently, a first pressure is maintained in the line section for at least a first time period, with the first pressure exceeding atmospheric pressure. A motor vehicle having the dosing unit is also provided.
Abstract:
A metering unit for a reducing agent includes an injector for supplying the reducing agent to an exhaust gas treatment device. A temperature sensor is disposed at the injector. A method for metering reducing agent and a motor vehicle having a metering unit are also provided.
Abstract:
A method for regulating an ionization device in an exhaust gas after-treatment device of an internal combustion engine, includes placing at least one cathode at a distance from an anode in the exhaust gas after-treatment device, applying a high voltage between the at least one cathode and the anode, predefining a first value for the high voltage, detecting a current generated by the high voltage between the at least one cathode and the anode and predefining a second value for the high voltage if the detected current exceeds a predefinable first current intensity for a predefinable number of times. A motor vehicle in which the method is carried out is also provided.
Abstract:
A device for providing a liquid reducing agent includes a tank having an interior space, a vessel at least partly disposed in the inner space of the tank, the vessel being at least partly surrounded by a particle screen through which a liquid can flow, and a delivery unit located in the vessel and configured for delivering reducing agent from the tank, through the particle screen and then out to a take-off or delivery point for reducing agent.
Abstract:
A device for conveying a liquid reducing agent from a tank to a supply element includes a connecting element for connecting a reducing agent line, a system heating unit and a heat-conducting structure configured to transport heat from the system heating unit to the connecting element. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.
Abstract:
A configuration for a power supply of a component in an exhaust gas system includes at least one electrical contact disposed at an exhaust gas line. The at least one electrical contact is surrounded by an electrical insulation material.
Abstract:
A conveying unit which can be mounted in a tank for conveying a liquid additive from the tank includes a filling level sensor which can emit and receive waves that are reflected back to the filling level sensor at a surface of liquid in the tank, so that a filling level measurement can be carried out by measuring the transit time of the waves. The conveying unit has at least one additional sensor device or sensor with which it is possible to determine if there is frozen additive in the tank. A tank for storing a liquid additive, a motor vehicle having the conveying unit and a method for determining a liquid additive quantity in a tank are also provided.
Abstract:
A device for supplying a liquid additive for a motor vehicle includes a tank for storing the liquid additive and a delivery unit for delivering the liquid additive out of the tank. A sensor emits and receives waves and is configured to measure a fill level of the liquid additive in the tank by way of a propagation time measurement of the waves along a measurement path to a liquid surface in the tank and back to the sensor. The measurement path runs at least partially through a measurement duct. At least one back-flushing line ends in the measurement duct so that flushing of the measurement duct to the tank can be performed, in such a way that the measurement duct is kept clean and/or is cleaned. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.
