The invention relates to a method for identifying a blockage of one or more spray openings of a dosing valve of an SCR catalytic converter system. Said method comprises the closure of the dosing valve, the determination of a first pressure profile in the hydraulic system in the delivery module of the SCR catalytic converter system, and the determination of the stiffness of the hydraulic system from the first pressure profile. The dosing valve is subsequently opened, a second pressure profile in the hydraulic system in the delivery module of the SCR catalytic converter system is determined, and a blockage of one or more spray openings of the dosing valve is determined from the stiffness and from the second pressure profile.

Method for identifying a blockage of a dosing valve of an SCR catalytic converter system

A metering valve assembly having a metering valve for metering an aqueous urea solution for posttreatment of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, the liquid being capable of being fed in a feeding direction to the metering valve and a mixing chamber being provided, in which the liquid is miscible with a gas in a gas flow. The metering valve is evacuatable contrary to the feeding direction.

Metering valve assembly and method for operating a metering valve assembly

The invention relates to a dosing system comprising a dosing means for metering a liquid, especially an aqueous urea solution used for the after treatment of exhaust gases generated by combustion engines. The liquid can be conveyed from a reservoir into an exhaust manifold through the dosing means in a normally operating conveying device. According to the invention, at least one area that is located between a dosing point and the reservoir and is impinged upon by the liquid can be emptied counter to a normal transport direction of the liquid.

Metering system and method for operating a metering system

An apparatus for introducing a reducing agent into the exhaust of an internal combustion engine, having a reservoir, a delivery unit, and a flow path for the reducing agent. The apparatus also has a ventilation device for ventilating the flow path and is situated at a geodetic high point of the flow path and even in the closed state, permits a return of a minimal fluid quantity to the reservoir.

Apparatus for introducing a reducing agent into the exhaust of an internal combustion engine

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

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

An apparatus for posttreatment of exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, using a reducing agent to be introduced into the exhaust gases, in particular a urea or a urea-and-water solution, having an improved mixing chamber into which stored reducing agent, via a reducing agent line, and compressed air via a compressed air line can be introduced to create a reducing agent-air mixture, and means for preventing a reverse flow of reducing agent or reducing agent-air mixture from the mixing chamber into the compressed air line are provided which have a spring-loaded sealing hose. This arrangement assures secure sealing off of an attachable compressed air system from the corrosive reducing agent.

Device for the post-treatment of exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine

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.
