A water injection device, in particular of an internal combustion engine, includes a water tank for storing water, a conveying element connected to the water tank for conveying water, at least one water injector connected to the conveying element for injecting water, and a water quality and water fill level detection device for detecting a quality of the water in the water tank and a fill level of the water tank.

Water injection device, in particular of an internal combustion engine, and method for operating such a water injection device

A method for operating a device for injecting water into an internal combustion engine, the device including a water tank for storing water, a pump for conveying the water, the pump being connected to the water tank via a first line, and the pump being operable in a conveying mode and in a back-suction mode, a drive for driving the pump, at least one water injector, which is configured to inject water into an air-conducting line of the internal combustion engine, the water injector being connected to the pump via a second line, the at least one water injector being opened during the operation of the pump in the back-suction mode, in which the water is conveyed in the direction of the water tank, so that air flows into the second line.

Method for operating a device for injecting water into an internal combustion engine

A water injection device of an internal combustion engine, including a water tank for storing water, at least one water injector, a conveying element for conveying water from the water tank into the water injector, and a shut-off element, which is situated in an area between the conveying element and the water injector, and which is configured to maintain a system pressure between the shut-off element and the water injector at a level such that water situated in the area is prevented from evaporating. An internal combustion engine, which includes a water injection device.

Water injection device of an internal combustion engine

A water injection device of an internal combustion engine is provided. The water injection device includes a water tank for storing water, and a delivery element for delivering the water. The delivery element is connected to the water tank. The water injection device further includes at least one water injector for injecting water. The at least one water injector is connected to the delivery element. The water injection device further includes a pressure sensor, which is arranged in a line region between the delivery element and the water injector, and a control unit, which is designed to determine, on the basis of pressure data of the pressure sensor, a formation of vapor in the aforementioned line region when the water injector is closed and the delivery element is deactivated.

Water injection device of an internal combustion engine, and method for operating a water injection device of said type

A method and an apparatus for controlling an electric pump for furnishing water for injection into a combustion chamber of an engine are provided. The electric pump is connected to an inflow of a main water tank and has a high-pressure output at which the electric pump makes available water at a pressure elevated with respect to a pressure in the main water tank. The high-pressure output of the electric pump is connected to a return line that opens into a driving jet connector of a suction jet pump, a suction jet connector of the suction jet pump being connected to a further water tank, and a high-pressure output of the suction jet pump being connected to the main water tank.
