Abstract
A system for the metered feeding of volatile fuel components, in particular into the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, includes an electromagnetic canister-purge valve which is actuatable in proportional pulse-width modulation, and a closed-loop control circuit with which, for the purpose of compensating for external interferences, the coil current of the canister-purge valve is adjustable. The system is characterized in that at least one device provided for detecting a variable parameter that includes at least one of a mass flow through the valve, a volume flow through the valve, a distance between the valve seat and the sealing element of the valve, and a CHportion in the volume flow. The coil current is adjustable as a function of the parameter.
