Patent number: 9752483Abstract: A method of operating a dosing device. A dosing valve is provided with low-pressure and high-pressure chambers delimited by a piston whose travel is limited to a predefined maximum stroke. A pump operates to deliver the liquid at pre-delivery pressure. The dosing valve actuates under direction of a control unit by opening a 2/2 directional valve to direct the pumped liquid into the low-pressure chamber, and in response, the piston initiates a stroke. The liquid is injected from the high-pressure chamber into the exhaust-gas stream during the stroke of the piston, and the injection stops when the piston reaches maximum stroke. The control unit holds the directional valve open for longer than the piston requires to perform its maximum stroke so that the dosing valve delivers a predetermined volumetric dose of the liquid into the exhaust-gas stream, the predetermined volumetric dose corresponding directly to the maximum stroke of the piston.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Matthias Burger

Publication number: 20170058739Abstract: A method for operating a reagent metering system which meters a reagent into an exhaust duct of an internal combustion engine upstream of an SCR catalytic converter, in which, after the metering operation is ended, at least part of the reagent metering system is emptied by back-suction by means of a reciprocating pump. The procedure according to the invention is distinguished in that during the back-suction, a stop determination determines the flight time of a reciprocating piston of the reciprocating pump from a starting time as far as the stop time, in that a comparator compares the flight time determined with a flight time threshold value, and in that the activation power of the reciprocating pump is reduced if the flight time determined is less than the flight time threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventor: Matthias Burger
