Patent number: 11111889Abstract: A recirculation module for a fuel prefilter unit of a combustion engine has a temperature-controlled actuating element that transfers the recirculation module, based on a filter raw side feed temperature of the fuel, from a cold start state into a normal operating state and back. In cold start state, an engine return line from the combustion engine to the recirculation module is in fluid communication with a filter element raw side of the fuel prefilter unit and the engine return line is separated in regard to fluid communication from a tank return line of the combustion engine. In normal operating state, the engine return line is separated in regard to fluid communication from the filter element raw side and is in fluid communication with the tank return line. A check valve prevents return flow of fuel from the tank return line into the engine return line.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: MANN+HUMMEL GmbHInventors: André Roesgen, Pius Trautmann, Idriss Razgani, Dietmar Talmon-Gros
