Abstract: A method for determining an amount of liquid removed from a tank per unit time includes discontinuously feeding the liquid to exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine by at least feeding the liquid through an injection line into the exhaust gas, measuring pressures simultaneously at least at two points in the injection line and determining an amount of liquid fed in per unit time from the measured pressures. The amount of liquid removed between a first point in time and a second point in time is further derived by integrating the amounts of liquid removed per unit time over a period of time from the first point in time to the second point in time. The method allows the precise consumption of the liquid to be calculated and the remaining amount of liquid in the tank to be additionally determined. On-board diagnosis is further possible with the method.

Abstract: A device for supplying reducing agent solution into an exhaust system, includes a reservoir for reducing agent solution and a delivery device for delivering reducing agent solution from the reservoir to a reducing agent infeed configuration. A delivery height to be overcome between the reservoir and the reducing agent infeed configuration is less than 1.5 meters and the delivery device includes a diaphragm pump. The device permits the dosed metering of reducing agent solution into an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine regardless of prevailing boundary conditions, in particular regardless of the position of the device, which is for example influenced by a position of a corresponding automobile. In particular, it is thus also possible to ensure reliable metering of reducing agent solution into the exhaust system even when the automobile or motor vehicle is traveling over grades. A corresponding exhaust system, method and utility vehicle are also provided.

Abstract: A method for gluing and brazing a honeycomb structure includes at least one partially structured foil with a pitch and a wave height. The method includes the steps of choosing a mean brazing material diameter of a powder brazing material, said diameter being 15% smaller than the height of the wave; determining a minimum thickness of the glue strip according to equation; gluing at least partially structured foil within the width of the glue strip on at least part of the wave crests formed by the undulation; brazing the honeycomb structure. The invention also relates to a corresponding honeycomb structure that ensures satisfactory joint connections even when said structure is used in the exhaust systems of automobiles.
