  • Patent number: 10598132
    Abstract: A method for diagnosis of a tank ventilation valve in a tank ventilation system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes actuating a tank ventilation valve via a control unit, and checking the functionality of the tank ventilation valve in a manner dependent on a pressure oscillation measured by the pressure sensor. The tank ventilation system includes a filter having a first feed line from a fuel tank, a second feed line with a connection to a surrounding atmosphere, and a third feed line to a tank ventilation valve, wherein the tank ventilation valve has a connection to two different introduction points at an intake pipe, wherein the connection has a first line system and a second line system, wherein the tank ventilation system further includes at least one pressure sensor installed in the second line system between tank ventilation valve and intake pipe.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9777677
    Abstract: A tank ventilation valve has a housing (21), a closing member (4), a sealing seat (5) and a first space (17). A second space (18) is connected to the first space (17) via a control opening (19) that surrounds the sealing seat (5). A spring (6) pretensions the closing member (4) against the sealing seat (5) and closes the control opening (19). The closing member (4) opens as a function of a pressure difference between the first and second spaces (17, 18). The opened closing member (4) opens the control opening (19) so that the first space (17) is connected to a first line (2) connects to fresh air. The second space (18) is connected to a second line (3) that is attachable to a filter. Structure is provided to exert a further negative pressure on the closing member (4) to move the closing member (4) into the open position.
