A tank device for an aqueous urea solution for injection into an exhaust system of a motor vehicle. The tank device includes a tank with a tank housing, an interior space located therein, a base and a cover. A separate base portion is attached to the tank housing and partially bounds the interior space. A lamella structure is formed on an upper side of the separate base portion, and the lamella structure has at least one lamella which at least partially subdivides the interior space of the tank above the base portion into a plurality of cells.

A cover for a DEF assembly with openings dimensioned to receive various components that are positioned in the DEF holding tank and associated seals for closing the openings and retaining the components is disclosed. The seals are fixed to the cover by a sonic weld.

The technology disclosed herein relates to a tank vent having a housing and a pleated, vapor-permeable microporous membrane. The housing defines a first vapor passageway configured for direct communication with a tank interior and a second vapor passageway configured for direct communication with the atmosphere. The housing also defines a tank mounting surface is mountable to a tank housing and a media mounting surface. The microporous membrane is sealed to the media mounting surface and defines a tubular structure such that the first vapor passageway and the second vapor passageway are in communication through the microporous membrane. Other embodiments including methods are also disclosed.

A container assembly for a motor vehicle comprises a first container (20) for a fuel for the motor vehicle and a second container (10) for a liquid auxiliary agent, in particular for the reducing agent solution of an SCR catalyst. The second container (10) is integrated into the first container (20). A bottom-mounted removal device having at least one pump (11) for removing the auxiliary agent is provided in the second container (10).

In a method for heating an operating agent for a rail vehicle, particularly for heating a reducing agent for the after-treatment of exhaust gas, a coolant liquid is pumped through a cooling circuit of the internal combustion engine by a pump when an operating agent heating system is in an operating mode. In the operating mode, the coolant liquid is pumpable through a main heating circuit by of the pump in order to heat the operating agent in a reservoir. When the operating agent heating system is in a preheating mode, the main heating circuit is divided into two sub-circuits of a preheating circuit, the flow being able to pass through both of the sub-circuits.

A device for providing a liquid additive, including at least one metallic insert, which is coated, at least in sections, with a plastic coating made of polyethylene (PE). At least one plastic structure made of a high-density polyethylene (HD-PE) or polypropylene (PP) is sprayed onto the plastic coating.

A construction machine includes: a cover that covers an engine and a radiator; a radiator fan that is arranged at the rear of a vehicle body frame and discharges exhaust gas toward the rear of the vehicle body frame from the inner space of the cover; an injection device that injects a reducing agent into exhaust gas of the engine; a tank housing section that is arranged at one side of the vehicle body frame, includes an introduction section for introducing outside air, and houses a tank for storing the reducing agent injected by the injection device; and a connection section that is arranged in either the cover or the vehicle body frame and in the tank housing section, connects the inner space of the tank housing section and the inner space of the cover, and allows the outside air and the pipe to pass therethrough, the outside air having been introduced from the introduction section by the suction pressure of the radiator fan, the pipe supplying the reducing agent to the injection device.

The invention relates to an exhaust gas aftertreatment device for an internal combustion engine, where the device comprises: an exhaust duct allowing a through-flow of exhaust gas; a catalytic NOx converter arranged in the exhaust duct; and a fluid inlet arranged to introduce a liquid reductant into or onto a structure in the exhaust duct upstream the catalytic NOx converter. The invention is characterized in that the structure is a sorption structure having pores configured to retain the liquid reductant in liquid form until it evaporates. The invention also relates to a vehicle provided with such a device.

A system and method for managing the temperature of a urea solution are thereby provided, in which air bubble formation in the urea solution caused by increases in the urea solution temperature is suppressed while thawing of the urea solution stored in the urea solution tank and used for NOx purification treatment is ensured, the concentration of the urea contained in the urea solution is accurately determined, and NOx is precisely reduced.

A controller including a self-tuning circuit for controlling a pressure system to output an input pressure corresponding to an input pressure value using an adaptive fuzzy control system and updating dosing command values of a dosing command table for controlling a dosing unit of an aftertreatment system. The self-tuning circuit is configured to determine an input pressure value and generate a pressure control signal using the adaptive fuzzy control system based on the input pressure value, a detected input pressure, and an error amount. The self-tuning circuit is further configured to regulate the input pressure of reductant to the dosing unit from a reductant tank using a pressure control signal for a pressure control device. The self-tuning circuit is further configured to update a dosing command value of a dosing command table of the controller in conjunction with regulating the input pressure of reductant.
