  • Patent number: 9702492
    Abstract: A line connector for a urea-water solution in an SCR catalytic converter system. The line connector has two mutually separate flow paths for two fluid media, one for a functional medium and another for a temperature control medium for controlling the temperature of the functional medium. The line connector includes a connector body having a first connection for a first line conducting a functional medium, a second connection conducting a temperature control medium, and a third connection for a double line having an inner line and a coaxial outer line. The third connection has an inner connecting element with an inner passage and an outer connecting element with an outer passage. The connector body is formed in its interior such that the first and second connections merge separately from one another into the inner and outer passages, respectively, of the third connection.
