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.
Abstract:
A device for storing or supplying an operating fluid includes a tank with an interior space and a protrusion which protrudes into the interior space and has a circumferential surface. At least one electrode for determining a filling level is disposed radially, running around the circumferential surface. Methods for mounting such a device and for monitoring a reserve filling level as well as a motor vehicle are also provided.
Abstract:
A device for providing liquid reducing agent includes a tank with an interior space and a vessel disposed at least partially in the interior space of the tank. The vessel is at least partially surrounded on the outside by a filter having a filter surface and a filter depth. A delivery unit disposed in the vessel is configured to deliver reducing agent from the tank, through the filter and to an extraction point for reducing agent. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.
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. A method for producing the dosing valve and a motor vehicle having the dosing valve are also provided.
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 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 container for a tank for storing a liquid additive includes a housing having a heater and at least one drivable apparatus for promoting convection in the housing. A motor vehicle includes a tank for storing a liquid additive and an exhaust gas system having a metering or adding device for the liquid additive. A container is inserted into the tank wall and a plurality of functional components is provided in the container for conveying the liquid additive from the tank through the container to the metering or adding device.
Abstract:
A delivery unit for delivering a liquid additive from a tank into an exhaust gas treatment device includes at least a housing which can be mounted on the tank, and a component carrier which carries at least one pump and is fixed in the housing by a clamping plate. A motor vehicle having a delivery unit is also provided.
