SUSTAINABLE WASHER FLUID SUPPLY FOR A VEHICLE
20210188217 · 2021-06-24 ·

The present disclosure redirects unused condensed liquid water from the HVAC system to the washer fluid system such that the washer fluid tank, which may be relatively small and light, does not have to be topped-off frequently. The washer fluid tank is constantly refilled, and the washer fluid supply does not have to be replenished with clean drinking water as often, preserving this important environmental resource. Vehicle sensor data and/or a mobile application usage algorithm control filling of the washer fluid tank, and optionally periodically add anti-freeze from an adjacent reservoir when necessary to maintain an operable washer fluid system even below 0 degrees C.

Anitfreeze cartridge and frost-protection system of a motor vehicle

An antifreeze cartridge includes a container containing an antifreeze agent, and a sealing film on the container. A connecting structure is configured and intended to be connected by force fit or form fit to a complementary receiver of an antifreeze inlet of a motor vehicle. The container has a handling portion which is configured and intended to allow the manual connection of the connecting structure to the complementary receiver of the antifreeze inlet. The sealing film is configured and intended to be perforated by a hollow perforation element of the antifreeze inlet so that the antifreeze agent contained in the container can be supplied to a frost-protection system of the motor vehicle through the hollow perforation element. A motor vehicle has an antifreeze inlet wherein the antifreeze inlet is accessible from the outside of an engine bay of the motor vehicle without opening a hood of the motor vehicle.

WASHER FLUID SYSTEM AND DELIVERY METHOD

A washer fluid delivery system includes, among other things, a washer fluid reservoir having a first zone with a first low point and a second zone with a second low point. A first valve is disposed in the first zone. The first valve is moveable back and forth between a flow permitting position and a flow restricting position in response to an amount of washer fluid within the first zone. A second valve is disposed in the second zone. The second valve moveable back and forth between a flow permitting position and a flow restricting position in response to an amount of washer fluid within the second zone. A pump operates to draw a washer fluid from the first zone through the first valve when the first valve is in the flow permitting position, and to draw a washer fluid from the second zone through the second valve when the second valve is in the flow permitting position.
