Method and apparatus for measuring catalytic reactivity in diagnosing a gas-permeable object, such as a catalyst or a filter, that has been removed from an exhaust gas tract connected downstream of an internal combustion engine of, motor vehicle. The method includes applying, through an opening in a device, a test medium with a defined composition, to a front face of the removed object; and measuring, at a position located, with respect to a flow direction of the test medium, downstream of the front face, at least of: a concentration of at least one reduced or oxidized constituent of the test medium after passage of the test medium through the gas-permeable object; and a temperature of the object after the test medium is applied to the gas-permeable object.

Method for measuring catalytic reactivity in diagnosing a gas-permeable object, and apparatus therefor

An apparatus for metering a urea or a urea-water solution for delivery to a catalytic converter assembly for removing nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gases of a Diesel engine, includes a housing block supporting function components communicating via a line, formed by recesses in the housing block, for transporting the reducing agent, and the walls of the line are formed by the housing block. This apparatus assures a simple line layout for reducing agent with a minimum number of sealing points that is accordingly appropriate for large-scale mass production.

Device for the dosing of a reducing agent

The apparatus for generating a mixture of reducing agent and air has a pumping agent feed pump having a pump housing and a mixing chamber into which reducing agent and air pumped by the feed pump can be introduced; the mixing chamber is embodied in a mixing chamber body which communicates directly with the pump housing of the feed pump and forms a cap of the pump housing. The feed pump has a drive shaft which protrudes into the pump housing, and the mixing chamber body is disposed at least approximately radially to the drive shaft The apparatus has a compact structural size and only a slight reducing agent-filled idle volume.

Device for generating a reducing agent/air mixture

A valve device for metering a fluid for metering a urea-water solution for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, which contains elements that flex or are compressed under high pressure so that the volume of the working chamber can change in order to limit high pressures, which arise in the event of a phase change of the fluid to be metered, to a non-damaging intensity.

Metering valve

A device used in an exhaust gas posttreatment system of an internal combustion engine has a mixing chamber into which reducing agent controlled by a metering valve, and air under pressure, can be introduced. The mixing chamber is embodied in a mixing chamber body, with which a valve body of the metering valve is connected. The mixing chamber discharges into a connection stub, and the metering valve has a valve member, which to control the reducing-agent/air mixture supply means into the mixing chamber cooperates with the face end of the connection stub as a valve seat. The valve body is screwed into a bore of the mixing chamber body.

Device for generating a mixture of reducing agent and air

A method and a device for metering a reducing agent is described, which is used for mass regulated metering of a reducing agent, in particular urea or a urea-water solution for the exhaust gas treatment of the exhaust gas of a diesel engine in particular. The device includes a mass sensor for measuring the reducing agent mass flow into the catalytic converter system.

Method and device for dosing a reducing agent for the removal of nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases

A method and an apparatus for metering a reducing agent in which the reducing agent is delivered, via a line and a final control element that regulates the metering, in particular a metering valve, to a catalytic converter assembly for removing nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gases, in particular of a Diesel engine; a pressure drop in the line dictated especially by gas inclusions is detected, and the line is ventilated via the final control element.

Method and apparatus for metering a reducing agent for removing nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases

A device for generating a mixture of reducing agent and air, having a mixing space into which reducing agent via a reducing agent delivery conduit and air via an air delivery conduit can be introduced into the mixing space, having means for pressurizing the air, in such a way that the air flows essentially at the speed of sound through the air delivery conduit.

A fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine has a supply container, at least one feed pump for supplying a fuel from the supply container, a high pressure pump to which the fuel is supplied from the supply container by the feed pump, so that the fuel is supplied under high pressure at least indirectly to injection points of an internal combustion engine, the feed pump being driven mechanically by the internal combustion engine, and a further feed pump provided additionally to the mechanically driven feed pump and supplying the fuel from the supply container to the high pressure pump, the further feed pump having an electric drive and being operable independently from the mechanically driven feed pump.

Fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine

The invention relates to a method for lubricating the teeth of a gear unit having a hollow wheel with an inner set of teeth and at least one pinion with an outer set of teeth that meshes with the inner set of teeth, and a gear unit with a hollow wheel with an inner set of teeth and at least one pinion with an outer set of teeth, which meshes with the inner set of teeth. To assure reliable supply of lubricant to the teeth during the operation of the gear unit, the invention proposes that the lubricant is introduced in a targeted way into the interior of the hollow wheel. The invention further proposes a gear unit, which has a device for the targeted delivery of lubricant into the interior of the hollow wheel.

A fuel delivery pump for a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, including a pair of gears that mesh with each other and are driven to rotate in a pump chamber. The pair of gears deliver fuel from an intake chamber connected to a storage tank, along a supply conduit that is formed between the end face of the gears and the circumference wall of the pump chamber, into a pressure chamber connected to the fuel injection pump. A conduit is provided that connects the intake chamber to the pressure chamber. The conduit can be connected to a ventilation device, and that upstream and downstream of the ventilation device, a pressure valve is provided for a directed fuel flow in the conduit.

A feed pump having a pair of gears that mesh with each other and are driven to rotate in a pump chamber. The gears supply a feed medium from an intake chamber connected to a storage tank, along a supply conduit constituted between the end face of the gears and the circumferential wall of the pump chamber. The feed medium is pumped into a pressure chamber, and a bypass conduit that connects the intake chamber to the pressure chamber can be opened by means of a pressure valve disposed in the bypass conduit. The bypass conduit that contains the pressure valve is disposed in a housing cover that closes the housing of the feed pump. The housing cover can be rotated 180 degrees in order to reverse the flow of the fluid medium within the pump.

The pair of gears supply fuel from an intake chamber connected to a storage tank, along a supply conduit in the housing constituted between the end face of the gears and the circumference wall of the pump chamber, and into a pressure chamber. In order to introduce lateral forces acting on the gears directly into the pump housing the gears are each supported on a housing pin, which is embodied as being of one piece with the housing of the feed pump and protrudes into the housing.
