The present disclosure relates to a sensor cleaning device () for cleaning an external vehicle sensor device from above, the sensor cleaning device comprising, a liquid inlet () for receiving pressurized liquid, a first and a second liquid outlet () for emitting pressurized liquid which is received from the liquid inlet (), a chamber () for pressurized liquid fluidly connecting the liquid inlet () and the first and second liquid outlets (), wherein each one of the first and second liquid outlets is having a width and a length, wherein the length extends in a length direction (L, L) and the width extends in a width direction (w, w), wherein the length direction is perpendicular to the width direction, and wherein the first and second liquid outlets () are configured so that pressurized liquid is emitted transversely through a sectional plane defined by the width direction and the length direction, wherein, the length is greater than the width for each first and second liquid outlet so that a first and second line-shaped liquid outlet () is formed, and the first and second line-shaped liquid outlets () are further configured so that emitted pressurized liquid therefrom during use impinge each other, thereby forming a resulting sheet of liquid (LS).

Sensor cleaning device

A gas tank arrangement for an internal combustion engine, the gas tank arrangement comprising a gas tank for containing a combustible gas, a first fuel pump arranged downstream the gas tank and arranged to increase the pressure level of the combustible gas to a first pressure level, wherein the gas tank arrangement further comprises a second fuel pump arranged downstream the first fuel pump and arranged to increase the pressure level of the combustible gas to a second pressure level, wherein the second pressure level is higher than the first pressure level.

Gas tank arrangement

The present invention relates to a gas tank arrangement () for an internal combustion engine (), said gas tank arrangement () comprising a gas tank () for containing a combustible gas, a first fuel pump () arranged downstream said gas tank () and arranged to increase the pressure level of the combustible gas to a first pressure level, wherein the gas tank arrangement () further comprises a second fuel pump () arranged downstream the first fuel pump () and arranged to increase the pressure level of the combustible gas to a second pressure level, wherein said second pressure level is higher than said first pressure level.

The present invention relates to a gas tank arrangement () for an internal combustion engine (), said gas tank arrangement () comprising a gas tank () for containing a combustible gas, and an additional gas tank () arranged in upstream fluid communication with said internal combustion engine (), wherein the gas tank arrangement () further comprises a valve arrangement () positioned in fluid communication with the internal combustion engine (), wherein the valve arrangement () is further arranged in upstream fluid communication with the gas tank () and the additional gas tank () for controllably direct combustible gas from the internal combustion engine () to either the gas tank () or the additional gas tank ().

The invention relates to a gas venting pipe () for a vehicle () having a forward tiltable cab, which gas venting pipe comprises: a first pipe section () mountable to a chassis of the vehicle; a second pipe section () mountable to a rear wall of the forward tiltable cab of the vehicle; and a flexible magnet connection () adapted to releasably interconnect the first and second pipe sections. The present invention also relates to a liquefied gas driven vehicle () comprising a gas venting pipe, and to a method of venting gas from a liquefied gas driven vehicle.

The present invention relates to a fuel tank arrangement () for an internal combustion engine () of a vehicle, the fuel tank arrangement () comprising a fuel tank () for containing a combustible gas; wherein the fuel tank arrangement further comprises a combustible gas burning arrangement () for combustion of combustible gas, said combustible gas burning arrangement () being positioned in downstream fluid communication with the fuel tank () via a first conduit.

Fuel tank arrangement with a gas burning arrangement and a pressure controlled valve to heat auxiliary vehicle components

A fuel system for an internal combustion engine includes a liquefied gas tank that stores liquefied gas and a pressurized gas production unit connected to the liquefied gas tank to produce pressurized gas from the liquefied gas. A fuel rail is connected to the pressurized gas production unit. The fuel rail receives the pressurized gas and delivers the pressurized gas to a fuel injector that injects the pressurized gas into a cylinder of the engine. The pressurized gas production unit receives the liquefied gas via a mixing unit that is provided between the liquefied gas tank and the pressurized gas production unit. The mixing unit receives excess gas in the form of vaporized gas from the liquefied gas tank and/or pressurized gas from the fuel rail and mixes the excess gas with the liquefied gas received from the liquefied gas tank.
