Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for producing an operating medium for a motor vehicle, especially for use in the exhaust gas post-treatment of the motor vehicle. According to said method, an operating medium is produced from an initial product and air using a catalyst device. Said initial product is heated and mixed with air and the heated mixture of initial product/air is fed to the catalyst device. A part of the initial product is converted to the gaseous phase by means of a preheating element and is entrained by a stream of air when leaving the preheating element, said stream of air leading to a combustion chamber. The method allows to efficiently produce an operating medium, especially a reducing agent for regenerating NOx storage catalysts.

Abstract: A dosing mechanism for fuels, particularly for the input into a chemical reformer to obtain hydrogen, has a metering-in device for metering fuel into a supply line, which opens out at at least one dosing aperture into a transporting line transporting a tempered material flow. A holding device for accommodating the metering-in device has an insulating body which thermally insulates the metering-in device from the transporting line that transports the tempered material flow.

Abstract: An atomization system for fuels, particularly for charging a chemical reformer for obtaining hydrogen, features at least one metering device, accommodated in a supporting device, for metering fuel into a temperature-adjusted substance stream, which introduces the fuel directly into the temperature-adjusted substance stream without the interpolation of a supply line.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for dividing an entering gas flow into two split flows, each of which flows through a branch of a line system. A control element is provided, which executes a control motion about a shaft between a first position and a second position. The entering gas flow is divided continuously, by means of the adjustable control element, at a volumetric flow ratio, and at the same time the control element allocates a medium to be metered, whose infeed point is associated with the control element, to the split flows at a different ratio VDOS.
