A separator apparatus for separating fluid may include a fluid inlet port into which the fluid in which gas and liquid may be mixed flows while being pressurized, a lower body which has a partition wall formed in an internal space of the lower body that fluid-communicates with the fluid inlet port, and an upper body which may be assembled to an upper opening portion of the lower body, and has a first gas discharge port that fluid-communicates with the internal space of the lower body to discharge gaseous fluid flowing into the lower body, wherein the partition wall divides the internal space of the lower body into a central portion and an outer peripheral portion on a basis of an axis thereof.

A method for operating a metering device for a liquid additive includes providing the metering device with at least one pump having a movable pump element carrying out pumping movements to pump the liquid additive and at least one injector connected through a pressure line to a pressure side of the pump and being opened to meter the liquid additive. The injector is opened in a step a). In a step b), the liquid additive is then metered and the pumping movements are counted during metering. In a step c), the injector is then closed. In a step d), the number of pumping movements ascertained in step b) are then compared with the opening time of the injector between step a) and step c) in order to carry out a diagnosis of the operation of the metering device. A metering device and a motor vehicle are also provided.

Proposed is a dosing module for injecting liquid urea-water solution into the exhaust tract of an internal combustion engine, which dosing module is composed of two pumps, specifically a delivery pump (5) and an aeration pump (15). This permits firstly the injection of urea-water solutions and secondly safe and reliable ventilation of the system when the internal combustion engine is to be shut down.

An object is to suppress the occurrence of a failure in supply of urea water as much as possible in filling control of urea water in a pump share-type urea water supply system with two supply valves. In the pump share-type urea water supply system with a first supply valve and a second supply valve, a urea water tank is connected with the respective supply valves by a urea water supply path. The urea water supply path includes a first supply path for the first supply valve and a second supply path for the second supply valve. The second supply path has a larger capacity than the capacity of the first supply path by a predetermined volume. Filling control of urea water pressure-feeds urea water to the first supply valve and the first supply path by a pump operated in a specified operating state in a state that at least the first supply valve out of the first and second supply valves is opened, and closes the first supply valve based on a pressure value or a pressure variation per unit time obtained by an acquirer.

A diesel exhaust fluid tank vent line or conduit connected to an air compressor is provided for mitigating negative air pressure and cavitation in diesel exhaust fluid injection fluid tanks and associated components. The diesel exhaust fluid tank vent line or conduit connected to an air compressor may include a fluid tank, engine air intake filter, conduit and pressure regulation components. A method for mitigating negative air pressure and cavitation in diesel exhaust fluid injection tanks and associated components using the diesel exhaust fluid tank vent line or conduit connected to an air compressor is also provided.
