  • Publication number: 20230125923
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a service interval for replacing a filter of a system for extracting an aqueous liquid from a motor vehicle tank in response to the risk of progressive clogging of said filter from use. A compound clogging risk decision value (K) is generated (320) on the basis of the sum of a plurality of elementary values (k1, k2, k3, k4) of the clogging risk, each related to a risk criterion depending on the operation of the extraction system since commissioning of the filter. The compound clogging risk decision value is compared (340) to a threshold value, and an alert to replace the filtration device is generated (351, 352) if the compound clogging risk value exceeds the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11421574
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for injecting ammonia in gaseous form into an exhaust line of a combustion engine, the device including a supervisor, an evaporation chamber incorporating a heater for heating a quantity of reducing agent thus releasing ammonia in gaseous form that exits the evaporation chamber via a pipe opening into the exhaust line. The control supervisor is associated with an internal first pressure sensor housed in the evaporation chamber and with a second pressure sensor intended to be housed in the exhaust line, including a calculator calculating a quantity of ammonia to be injected into the exhaust line at a given instant as a function of the pressure values from the first and second pressure sensors.

  • Publication number: 20210291085
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for maintaining a filtration device of a system for extracting a liquid from a tank of a motor vehicle. The method is based on risk criteria for detecting (301) the choking of the device and on application criteria for identifying (302) a context favorable to the cleaning of the filtration device. The cleaning of the filtration device, based on generating (303) a reverse stream in the extraction system, is thus only triggered when specific, configurable conditions are identified.
