The invention relates to a filler head (23) for a storage system comprising a body with a main part (31) closed by a cover part, and being configured to receive a distribution nozzle of a fluid and configured to be connected, in a tighten manner, to a filling line and a venting line of a fluid tank, the filler head (23) further comprising a buffer volume (33) so as to reduce the speed of flow (V) coming from the venting line (21), the buffer volume (33) being in one-piece with the main part (31) and is closed by the cover part so as to limit fluid projection from the filler head (23) during refilling.

A connection unit having a connector and at least one fluid line that is connected to the connector, wherein the connector has at least two connection ends and a connector section that connects the connection ends to one another. A fluid line end of a fluid line engages with at least one connection end of the connector. At least one compensation element is connected to the fluid line in the area of the fluid line end of the fluid line, the compensation element being supportable on at least one support stop via at least one spring element. Due to a pressure increase in the connector section, the compensation element is movable against the restoring force of the spring element in the direction of the support stop, with an increase in the internal volume of the connector section.

An injection controller that is applied to an exhaust purification system including an injector that is located in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and injects to supply a reducing agent in a liquid state to a NOx purification catalyst purifying NOx in an exhaust gas, and a pump that pressurizes and pumps the reducing agent to the injector through a reducing-agent passage. The injection controller includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a variation quantity of a rotational speed of the pump caused in response to an injection of the injector or a correlation value that is a value correlative to the variation quantity, as a rotational variation parameter, and a determination unit configured to determine whether an air mixing exists in the reducing-agent passage based on the rotational variation parameter.

A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) delivery system and method for operating same. The method includes controlling a pump to operate at an idle speed to pressurize a pressure line. The method includes controlling a backflow dosing module (BFDM) valve to open to allow an amount of the DEF to flow into a fluid storage tank through a backflow line. The method includes determining a dosing request, a first dosing actuation request for the first dosing valve and a second dosing actuation request for the second dosing valve based on the dosing request. The method includes, when a sum of the first and second dosing actuation requests is less than 100%, controlling the BFDM valve to close when either of the first and second dosing valves is open; and controlling the BFDM valve to open when the first dosing valve is closed and the second dosing valve is closed.

The invention relates to an expansion body having an equalization chamber, which is separated by an elastic diaphragm from a fluid which flows through part of the expansion body. A mechanical spring applies an additional spring force to the diaphragm, wherein the spring has mechanical prestress. In addition, the invention relates to an SCR system with such an expansion body, and a method for monitoring a pressure sensor in such a SCR system with an expansion body. The method comprises the following steps: first, an anticipated characteristic pressure at which the spring force of the spring of the expansion body is overcome is defined by setting the prestress of the spring in the expansion body.

A valve assembly for a vehicle exhaust system includes an exhaust component body defining an exhaust gas flow path and a flap mounted to pivot in the exhaust gas flow path between a minimum flow position and a maximum flow position. At least one bushing supports the flap for rotational movement relative to the exhaust component body about an axis. In one example, a damper is positioned radially between the bushing and the flap and defines an inner diameter that is smaller than an outer diameter of the bushing. In another example, a damper is attached to the flap such that a distal edge is free from attachment to a distal edge of the flap such that as the flap returns to the minimum flow position the damper first contacts the exhaust component body and then the flap contacts the damper.

A delivery device for delivering a reducing agent from a reducing agent tank to an exhaust gas treatment device of an internal combustion engine, includes a partially rigid reducing agent line and a delivery pump disposed in the reducing agent line and having a delivery direction from the reducing agent tank to the exhaust gas treatment device. The delivery device has at least one vibration compensating device selected from the following group: an inflow compensating device upstream of the delivery pump in the delivery direction, an outflow compensating device downstream of the delivery pump in the delivery direction, a pump-internal compensating device within the delivery pump, and a structure borne noise compensating device on a fixing of the delivery pump. A motor vehicle having the delivery device is also provided.

An aftertreatment system for treating constituents of an exhaust gas includes: a housing defining a first internal volume and a second internal volume; an oxidation catalyst in the first internal volume and extending along a first axis, the oxidation catalyst configured to receive at least a portion of the exhaust gas via an inlet conduit fluidly coupled to the oxidation catalyst; a filter in the first internal volume and extending along a second axis parallel to and offset from the first axis, wherein an outlet of the filter is disposed within the second internal volume and configured to emit the exhaust gas into the second internal volume; at least one selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst in the second internal volume and extending along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis; and a decomposition tube in the second internal volume in a direction parallel to the third axis.

An injection controller that is applied to an exhaust purification system including an injector that is located in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and injects to supply a reducing agent in a liquid state to a NOx purification catalyst purifying NOx in an exhaust gas, and a pump that pressurizes and pumps the reducing agent to the injector through a reducing-agent passage. The injection controller includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a variation quantity of a rotational speed of the pump caused in response to an injection of the injector or a correlation value that is a value correlative to the variation quantity, as a rotational variation parameter, and a determination unit configured to determine whether an air mixing exists in the reducing-agent passage based on the rotational variation parameter.

A suction tube for a urea sensor installed in a urea tank comprises a suction pipe and a cover. The suction pipe has a suction opening and a hole extending through a wall of the suction pipe. The cover is disposed on an outside of the suction pipe and covers the hole. When there is an under-pressure in the suction pipe compared to the urea tank, the cover abuts the suction pipe and seals the hole. When there is an overpressure in the suction pipe compared to the urea tank, the cover deforms and allows an excess urea solution to escape through the hole and flow back into the urea tank.
