Abstract:
A method for operating a reducing agent delivery device having a liquid reducing agent tank, an injector dispensing reducing agent into an exhaust treatment device, an internal combustion engine and a reducing agent line from tank to injector, includes conveying the reducing agent from tank to injector with a pump and providing a pressure sensor in the line. The method includes, repeatedly: determining and providing supply pressure for the injector in the delivery device with the pump, calculating an injector opening time from a determined injection volume and supply pressure and opening the injector at the calculated injector opening time. A venting procedure at a point in time includes: determining an increase of a pressure conveying volume characteristic in the delivery device, calculating an air bubble volume by comparing the increase to a target increase, and conveying a conveying volume through the injector. A motor vehicle is also provided.

A method for selectively heating a reducing agent line of an SCR device during operation of an exhaust gas purification system of an internal combustion engine and a device for exhaust gas purification, include a supply tank for a reducing agent for SCR applications, a device for introducing the reducing agent into an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine and at least one reducing agent line for fluidically connecting the supply tank to the device.
Abstract:
A configuration for purification of an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine includes at least one exhaust gas line having an element for exhaust gas purification with a first end face and a second end face. The exhaust gas flows through the element from the first end face to the second end face. An adding device is provided downstream of the element for adding a reactant to the exhaust gas flow. The adding device is positioned at a distance of no more than 30 mm from the second end face of the element in such a way that at least part of the added reactant strikes the second end face of the element. A method for adding a reactant into an exhaust line during the operation of an internal combustion engine is also provided.
Abstract:
An evaporation unit for evaporating an aqueous solution including at least one reducing agent precursor, includes at least one evaporator cavity defined by a wall made of a material containing titanium. A heat-imparting layer disposed outside the evaporator cavity is made of a material having a thermal conductivity of at least 100 W/mK (Watts per meter and Kelvin) and is connected to the evaporator cavity in a heat-conducting manner. A heating layer disposed outside the heat-imparting layer is connected in a materially integral manner to the heat-imparting layer. The evaporator unit can be controlled in a highly dynamic manner, thereby enabling a sufficiently high amount of ammonia to be produced even during rapid load changes and consequently significant increases in the concentration of nitric oxide in the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine. A device and a motor vehicle having the evaporation unit are also provided.
