  • Patent number: 10994604
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an operating fluid container for a motor vehicle, wherein the operating fluid container comprises a fill level sensor, a tank control device and an electrically and/or electromagnetically actuable actuator; the tank control device is connected to the actuator by means of a first data exchange connection and to the fill level sensor by means of a second data exchange connection; the fill level sensor is designed to transmit data representing a fill level of the operating fluid container to the tank control device via the second data exchange connection; the tank control device is designed to transmit a filling stop signal to the actuator via the first data exchange connection upon receiving data which represent a predetermined fill level of the operating fluid container; and the actuator initiates the termination of a filling procedure of the operating fluid container upon receiving the filling stop signal.

  • Patent number: 9970370
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for heating a storage container (1) for an aqueous operating liquid in a motor vehicle having a combustion engine cooled by means of a liquid heat transfer medium, using the waste heat from the combustion engine, which is transferred to the heat transfer medium. The system comprises a first heat exchanger (9), which is provided in or on the storage container (1) and can be heated by means of the heat transfer medium in a cooling circuit (3) for the combustion engine, wherein the first heat exchanger (9) is part of a storage container heating circuit (10), which comprises a heat transfer medium feed (11) and a heat transfer medium return (12), wherein the storage container heating circuit (10) is connected hydraulically in parallel with a second heating circuit (7b) with a second heat exchanger (7) for heating the passenger cell (8) of the motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20070204920
    Abstract: The invention concerns a fuel tank (1) for a motor vehicle comprising a filler connection (2) enclosing a tank refueling passage (11) and operational and tank refueling venting conduits (3, 4) which are connected to a filler head (6) of the filler connection (2), wherein the filler head (6) has at least one change-over switching valve (9) which in a first switching position (tank refueling position) opens a flow path from the tank refueling venting conduit (3) to a fuel vapor filter and closes a connection of the operational venting conduit (4) to the tank refueling passage (11), and which in a second switching position (operational position) opens the connection of the operational venting conduit (4) to the tank refueling passage (11) and closes the flow path from the tank refueling venting conduit (3) to the fuel vapor filter.
