An onboard power supply, contains a starter power supply having a high-power load, particularly a starter and a first energy storage, particularly a double-layer capacitor. The onboard power supply further has an intermediate power supply with a second energy storage, particularly a rechargeable lithium polymer battery and a load power supply with at least one electric load. The starter power supply is electrically coupled to the intermediate power supply via a first voltage converter. The intermediate power supply is electrically coupled to the load power supply via a second voltage converter, and the onboard power supply has a controller, which controls or regulates the electric voltage in the intermediate power supply in dependence on a parameter of the second energy storage.

An energy storage system includes an electric component, a solvent, and a protective device which chemically binds the decomposition products of the solvent. Any damage to the surroundings, which could be caused by the decomposition products of the solvent, can be prevented using the novel energy storage system.

A nozzle module for an injection valve has a nozzle body with a nozzle body opening extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis, and which can be hydraulically coupled to a fluid feed; a nozzle needle which is movable axially in the nozzle body opening and which in a closed position prevents a flow of fluid through at least one injection opening and otherwise releases the fluid flow; and an induction-heated heating element disposed between the nozzle body and the nozzle needle. The heating element is at least partially spaced a distance away from the nozzle body and from the nozzle needle, and during operation of the injection valve the fluid can flow against a side of the heating element facing the nozzle body and a side of the heating element facing the nozzle needle.

A method for operating a combustion machine, such as an internal combustion engine, has the following steps: provision of a combustion machine for producing thermal energy; operation of the combustion machine, and thereby burning fuel to obtain the thermal energy; detection of the concentration of at least one pollutant, which is produced during the combustion, in the surroundings of the combustion machine; regulation of the operation of the combustion machine, in which a characteristic variable of the combustion machine is set according to the detected concentration in such a way that the emission of the pollutant is reduced.
