The disclosure relates to a connector for two fluid systems which are separated from one another in a liquid-tight manner, comprising a housing which has a first end and a second end, a first channel for a first fluid being formed between the first end and the second end, and a second channel for a second fluid being arranged at least partially inside the first channel, the second channel passing coaxially through the second end. In the region of the first channel, the housing has an outlet portion having an outlet opening through which the second channel exits from the first channel.

A suction tube filter arrangement includes a suction tube defining a suction tube direction and a filter member extending along the suction tube direction. The suction tube is at least partially arranged inside the filter member.

A level sensor assembly (10) for measuring physical properties indicative of a quality of a urea solution (AdBlue/DEF), where at least a portion of said level sensor assembly (10) is inserted in a tank (50), said level sensor assembly (10) comprises a header unit (12) mounted in an aperture of the tank (50); heating tubes (20) inserted in the tank for heating/thawing the urea solution in the tank (50) and one or more tubes (22) for suction of urea solution from the tank (50), said tubes (20,22) being connected to the header unit (12); and a level sensor (24,26) for measuring level of urea solution in the tank (50). Further, a detachable UQS sensor (30) is installed in the header unit (12), said UQS sensor (30) being at least partly submerged in a liquid pool (32) of urea solution in the header unit (12), and the liquid pool (32) in the header unit (12) comprises a compressible and/or expanding bottom (34).

A method for operating a device for providing a liquid additive includes feeding the liquid additive along a feeding path having at least one first portion which forms a heat conducting section from a heater of the device into a tank for the liquid additive. The feeding path also has at least one second portion in which a component susceptible to freezing is disposed. The liquid additive is first fed along the feeding path of the device. Subsequently, the feeding of liquid additive is stopped. Then, partial draining of the feeding path takes place, with liquid additive remaining in the at least one first portion of the feeding path while the at least one second portion is being drained. A device for providing a liquid additive is also provided.

A urea concentration sensor reflector system includes a urea concentration sensor reflector assembly including a reflector having an upwardly convex dome shape integrally connected to and supported by multiple legs. The reflector includes a concave-shaped inner surface. The multiple legs are connected to and support the urea concentration sensor reflector assembly to an upward directed surface of a bottom tank wall of a urea storage tank. A sound wave generator and receiver is fixed to the bottom tank wall directly below and centrally aligned with the reflector. The sound wave generator and receiver generates ultrasonic sound waves directed upwardly toward the reflector. A concentration of a liquid urea in the urea storage tank is determined based on a time for the ultrasonic sound waves to travel to the reflector and return as echo signals to the sound wave generator and receiver, and a temperature of the liquid urea.

An injector for injecting a reagent includes a first injector body defining a first end and a second end. The first injector body further includes an outlet opening disposed proximal to the second end. The injector further includes a valve assembly at least partly enclosed by the first injector body. The valve assembly is configured to selectively dispense the reagent through the outlet opening of the first injector body. The injector further includes a cover member coupled to the first injector body and adapted to at least partially cover the second end of the first injector body. The cover member includes an integral flange portion for mounting the injector on a component.

A tank system for a reducing agent includes: a vessel storing the reducing agent and having: an upper vessel wall, lateral vessel walls, a lower vessel wall forming a vessel base, a base region of the vessel having an opening, and an outer side of the vessel; and a conveying device on the outer side of the vessel that provides the reducing agent under pressure via an outlet to an exhaust gas. The conveying device with the outer side of the vessel forms a space S outside the vessel, the space S, via the opening, is connected to an interior of the vessel allowing reducing agent to flow from the interior into the space S and, by the conveying device, is suppliable from the space S to the exhaust gas and suctionable from the space S. A support is provided on the opening.

A device to supply an internal combustion engine with water comprising one single tank of an exhaust system provided with exhaust gas after-treatment; the tank is divided, on the inside, into a first powder urea storage area and a second water collecting area, and wherein the powder urea and the water are mixed inside the tank so as to obtain a water solution of urea with a variable concentration, the device comprises at least one second electromagnetic injector, which is designed to inject water into the internal combustion engine, and a second pumping device, which is drowned inside the tank and draws from the second water collecting area in order to supply water under pressure to said at least one second electromagnetic injector.

An injector for injecting a reagent includes a first injector body and a second injector body. The first injector body includes an outlet opening. The second injector body includes a reagent tube. The second injector body is movable relative to the first injector body. The injector further includes a valve assembly at least partly enclosed by the first injector body. The valve assembly is configured to selectively dispense the reagent through the outlet opening of the first injector body. The injector further includes a spring member positioned between the first injector body and the second injector body. The spring member is pre-loaded to bias the second injector body towards the first injector body. The spring member is further configured to limit a maximum movement of the second injector body relative to the first injector body in response to expansion of the reagent during freezing.

An operating fluid tank for a motor vehicle, in particular for storing an aqueous additive, comprising: a tank wall made of a thermoplastic material, wherein the tank wall has a top, a bottom and side walls, and the tank wall delimits a tank volume, wherein the tank volume has a height, a depth and a width; and at least one electrically operated heating device having one or more heating elements, the heating element being inserted into an outer depression of the tank wall, or into an outer recess or opening in the tank wall, or into an inner structure that is integrally formed with the tank wall and that extends into the tank volume, and said heating element extending over at least one third of the height of the tank volume and being electrically contacted outside the tank volume.
