The invention relates to an arrangement () having a liquid tank (), at least one line () connected to the liquid tank (), through which liquid (F) can be transported from the liquid tank (), and a pump () connected to the at least one line () for conveying the liquid (F) from the liquid tank () through the at least one line () in the direction of flow (R) during an operating phase, wherein a pressure accumulator () connected to the at least one line () is provided, by means of which a pressure can be generated in the at least one line () outside of the operating phase, and a ventilating element (), which can be transitioned into an open position and into a closed position, is arranged along the at least one line (), wherein, outside of the operating phase, a pressure impulse within the at least one line () can be generated by the pressure generated by the pressure accumulator () and a subsequent transition of the ventilating element () into the open position in order to drain the line () of the fluid (F).

Arrangement and method for draining at least one line connected to a liquid tank

A service fluids container made of plastic for installation in a motor vehicle. The service fluids container is suitable for antimicrobial storage of service fluids even in the event that the motor vehicle is shut off for prolonged periods. The interior of the container accommodates an antimicrobial composition comprising a hydrophilic polymer and a complex compound of a metal salt with an organic ligand.

Antimicrobial storage of water or aqueous solutions especially in motor vehicles

A system for storing and supplying water to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle with a reservoir () for the water, with at least a delivery pump () for the water, and with at least a pipeline system comprising at least a feed line () to a consumer which is preferably designed in the form of at least a metering unit, and at least a return line () into the reservoir () as well as with means for demineralizing the water which are disposed inside the reservoir () or in the pipeline system.

System and method for storing and supplying water to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a system for storing and feeding an auxiliary liquid to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle or to parts of the internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle, having a storage vessel for the fluid, having at least one delivery pump for the fluid, and having at least one line system comprising an inflow to a consumer and a return flow into the storage vessel, the system comprising a connector module which is inserted into an opening of the storage vessel, the connector module having fluid ducts which communicate with the storage vessel and are connected to an inflow line and to a return flow line of the line system, and the connector module comprising a module block which is configured as a thermally conductive and/or heatable body.

System for storing an auxiliary liquid and supplying same to an internal combustion engine

The invention relates to a container () of thermoplastic material with at least one support (), which is arranged in the interior of the container, extends between opposing container walls () and is anchored at each end to the container walls with a positive engagement and/or a material bond, the support () comprising at least one supporting strut () and the supporting strut () substantially absorbing a supporting load on the container walls () induced by negative pressure in the container, and a tensile force that is induced by positive pressure being absorbed by at least one tension-resistant bracing element in the form of a tension-resistant band () which extends between the container walls ().

Container of thermoplastic material

The invention relates to a ventilating device () for liquid containers (), in particular for liquid containers () for an aqueous urea solution, including a housing () which can be mounted at an opening of the liquid container () and has a first opening () to the liquid container () and a second opening () to the surroundings of the liquid container (), a diaphragm () which is arranged within the housing (), is permeable to air, is impermeable to liquid and is configured in such a way that a deformation of the diaphragm () takes place by a pressure change in the liquid container (), as a result of which the volume within the housing () within the diaphragm () changes, with the result that the displaced volume leaves the housing () via the second opening () to the surroundings of the liquid container (). Furthermore, the invention relates to a liquid container () having a ventilating device () according to the invention.

Ventilating device for liquid containers, in particular for liquid containers for an aqueous urea solution

The invention relates to a thermoplastic tank () with at least one insert part which is provided in the interior of the tank () and is inserted into the tank () through an opening () in a tank wall () and is sealed against a peripheral flange () provided in the region of the opening (). The flange () is formed integrally with the tank wall () and is countersunk therein.
