  • Patent number: 8671663
    Abstract: A method of metering a fluid, pollutant-reducing medium, in particular an aqueous urea solution, into a motor vehicle exhaust system is proposed, in which the fluid medium is delivered to a nozzle module, in particular a nozzle or a valve, and introduced into the exhaust system by the nozzle module. A transport system arranged upstream of the nozzle module is activated with pulse-width modulation. The method and the associated metering system ensure that, in particular, a reducing agent is arranged or metered precisely and in a robust manner relative to degrees of coldness, with the use of few components.

  • Patent number: 8528390
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method for metering a reagent, in which the reagent is sprayed into a spray tube (12) via an electrically activated metering valve (24), and is mixed in the spray tube (12) with compressed air, and in which the reagent mixed with compressed air is introduced by means of the spray tube (12) into an exhaust gas duct (10) and is atomized, and a device for carrying out the method. The procedure according to the invention is distinguished in that the duration of the metering valve activation signal (34) is corrected depending on the differential pressure between the hydraulic pressure (p_Rea_hyd) of the reagent in the metering valve (24) and the pneumatic pressure (p_D_pneu) in the spray tube (12). The procedure according to the invention permits a high degree of accuracy in the metering of the reagent.

  • Patent number: 7654080
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing system comprising a dosing means for metering a liquid, especially an aqueous urea solution used for the after treatment of exhaust gases generated by combustion engines. The liquid can be conveyed from a reservoir into an exhaust manifold through the dosing means in a normally operating conveying device. According to the invention, at least one area that is located between a dosing point and the reservoir and is impinged upon by the liquid can be emptied counter to a normal transport direction of the liquid.

  • Patent number: 7571603
    Abstract: The invention relates to a metering system for injecting pollutant reducing medium into an exhaust system includes a metering pump, and at least one self-opening nozzle for injecting fluidic media into the exhaust gas system. The nozzle is self-opening with a needle chamber, a nozzle needle and a spring chamber with a spring element. The needle chamber and spring chamber are separated by a flexible membrane which prevents fluidic media from escaping from the needle chamber into the spring chamber, and also permits an excess pressure to prevail in the needle chamber in relation to the spring chamber, causing the nozzle needle to be displaced in opposition to a spring force, thus releasing a nozzle opening. The inventive metering system is cost-effective, robust and can also be used at low operating temperatures.
