The present invention relates to a heater for a vehicle system for injecting anaqueous solution in an air intake line upstream of a combustion chamber of aninternal combustion engine, or in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, said heater comprising at least one flexible part which comprises at least one metallic resistive track embedded in an insulating material, said insulating material comprising at least one antimicrobial compound and/or being coated by at least one layer containing at least one antimicrobial compound. The invention relates also to a vehicle system for injecting an aqueous solution in an air intake line upstream of a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, or in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine comprising said heater.

Vehicle system for injecting an aqueous solution in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine and method for injecting an aqueous solution in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion

The present invention relates to a vehicle system () configured for injecting an aqueous solution in an air intake line () upstream of a combustion chamber () of an internal combustion engine, or in the combustion chamber () of the internal combustion engine, said vehicle system () comprising the following constituents: &#x22c5;a tank () to store an aqueous solution; &#x22c5;a pump (); &#x22c5;an air intake line () upstream of a combustion chamber () of an internal combustion engine; &#x22c5;one or more injectors () configured for injecting aqueous solution in the air intake line (), in the combustion chamber () or both; &#x22c5;a feed line () configured in for feeding said injector () with aqueous solution pumped by the pump (). In the vehicle system, at least a portion of at least one of the vehicle system constituents () or of a tank () component () is made of a polymer material. The polymer material&#x2014;comprises an effective amount of at least one antimicrobial agent, or&#x2014;has on its surface a surface coating containing at least one antimicrobial agent, the surface coating comprising between 0.001% by weight and 0.25% by weight of the at least one antimicrobial agent.

Vehicle system and method for injecting an aqueous solution in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine

The invention relates to a vehicle system for injecting an aqueous solution, said vehicle system comprising: a tank () for storing an aqueous solution; an injection system () configured for injecting aqueous solution from the tank () in an injection zone (Z) in the vehicle; and a UV light decontamination device () configured for decontaminating the aqueous solution stored in the tank () by emitting UV light.

System and method for injecting an aqueous solution on-board a vehicle

A method is provided for loading or reloading a decomposition unit of an SCR system, the SCR system being mounted on board a vehicle and including a filler pipe in communication with the decomposition unit. The method is such that at least one capsule containing at least one protein component adapted to decompose ammonia precursor is introduced through the filler pipe and is then guided through the filler pipe towards the decomposition unit.

Method and system for purifying the exhaust gases of a combustion engine

A method for loading or reloading a decomposition unit of a vehicular system, the vehicular system including a filler pipe in communication with the decomposition unit. The method includes introducing at least one capsule including at least one protein component adapted to decompose ammonia precursor through the filler pipe and which is then guided through the filler pipe towards the decomposition unit.
