  • Publication number: 20180363824
    Abstract: Heatable motor vehicle conduit for transmission of a fluid medium, wherein the conduit includes an inner channel as well as a tube wall surrounding the inner channel. At least one heating channel extending in the longitudinal direction of the conduit is provided inside the tube wall. At least one heating element extending along the heating channel is disposed in the heating channel. The heating element is surrounded by the inner wall of the heating channel and by the material of the tube wall over at least 85% of its circumference.

  • Publication number: 20180252345
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10012336
    Abstract: Connector assembly, and/or motor-vehicle connector assembly, with at least one connector and at least one media line connected to the connector. The media line is electrically heated, a heat-conducting element being arranged in the transition region between connector and media line. The heat-conducting element extends with a first heat-conducting section into the media line and with a second heat-conducting section into the connector. By means of the electric heating of the media line, the heat-conducting element is heated, and/or indirectly heated, and in particular is heated and/or indirectly heated as far as the region of the connector.

  • Patent number: 8757668
    Abstract: A connector for connecting at least two receptor modules for a liquid medium, wherein the connector has a first connection end for the connection to a first receptor module and a second connection end for the connection to a second receptor module. The connector has a pressure equalization chamber between the first and second connection ends, in which a compressible insert is disposed. The compressible insert lies in part against the interior wall of the pressure equalization chamber. A least one longitudinal channel for a fluid communication between the first and second connection ends is provided between the interior wall of the pressure equalization chamber and the compressible insert. The compressible insert can be compacted as a result of a volume expansion of the liquid medium due to temperature conditions.

  • Patent number: 7331330
    Abstract: A device to suction fuel from a fuel injector and a device to attach a fuel return line to a fuel injector with a C-shaped main body partially encircling the fuel injector having two retaining arms which abut the fuel injector and grip it from the back at least to a small degree, with a connector coacting with a drain passage of the fuel injector and at least one connecting fitting for the fuel return line. The connecting fitting and the connector are fluidically connected. The free ends of the retaining arms have a first section in which they are angled towards each other and towards the base of the main body.
