Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system for denoxing exhaust gases of a combustion unit on an SCR catalyst 2 utilizing ammonia (NH3) additionally introduced into the exhaust gas flow before the SCR catalyst 2, which has at least one reducing agent container 4, in which the NH3 (5) to be supplied to the exhaust gas flow is stored, which container 4 is connected via a supply line 7 with the exhaust gas line 1, and is adapted so that at least one reducing agent container 4 is held in a docking device 15 as a portion of the exhaust gas purification system 3 and, via a coupling 20, 21, is connected with the supply line 7. Of coupling 20, 22 one coupling part 22 is associated with the docking device 15 and the other coupling part 20 with the container 4, so that both coupling parts 20, 22 can be engaged with one another via an axial movement directed toward one another.

Abstract: A reducing agent dosing device for delivering a reducing agent into the exhaust gas system of the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The internal combustion engine has fuel carried along in a fuel tank with a fuel return line disposed between the internal combustion engine and the fuel tank. The reducing agent dosing device has a reducing agent tank connected to exhaust gas system of the internal combustion engine by a supply line. The supply line for is disposed such that it is in heat-conducting connection with the fuel return line of the internal combustion engine to heat the reducing agent carried in the supply line.
