Abstract: The invention relates to a pipe connector with a first media connection for connecting a pipe for a medium to be heated, with a heating element, which is disposed on a pipe element capable of being passed by the medium, and with at least one further media connection. Herein, the pipe element and the heating element disposed on the pipe element are surrounded by a sleeve element. The sleeve element is disposed in a housing of the pipe connector, by which the media connections are formed. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing such a pipe connector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tank withdrawal system for a vehicle tank filled with a frozen liquid. The tank withdrawal system comprises a heating system comprising at least one electric heating element as primary heating device and a conduit system provided with at least one withdrawal conduit with a withdrawal opening arranged in the vehicle tank. The cold start volume of the frozen liquid extending around the withdrawal opening can be melted by the primary heating device. To quickly melt a cold start volume while melting off the remaining frozen liquid consuming as minimal amount of energy, the heating system comprises a secondary heating device supplied with a heating fluid and the conduit system comprises at least one heating conduit through which the heating fluid can flow and which is arranged in the liquid in the vehicle tank.
