  • Patent number: 10989101
    Abstract: A coolant delivery device for an internal combustion engine, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes a pump, a an activatable electric motor, a shut-off valve, a return line, a heating device, and a common module housing. The pump is configured to deliver liquid coolant, and includes a suction port configured to connect to a tank, and a pressure port for the coolant and which is assigned to the engine. The motor is configured to drive the pump. The valve is assigned to the suction port. The return line is configured to connect to the tank, and includes at least one check valve. At least the pump, motor, valve, heating device, and the at least one check valve together form a delivery module and are positioned in the common module housing.

  • Patent number: 10378435
    Abstract: A water injection device of an internal combustion engine is provided. The water injection device includes a water tank for storing water, and a delivery element for delivering the water. The delivery element is connected to the water tank. The water injection device further includes at least one water injector for injecting water. The at least one water injector is connected to the delivery element. The water injection device further includes a pressure sensor, which is arranged in a line region between the delivery element and the water injector, and a control unit, which is designed to determine, on the basis of pressure data of the pressure sensor, a formation of vapor in the aforementioned line region when the water injector is closed and the delivery element is deactivated.
