Patent number: 8371107Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the regeneration, temperature loading and/or thermal management of a component, assigned to an exhaust system, of an internal combustion engine. The device includes at least one injection valve which injects a fluid, in particular fuel, into the exhaust system, preferably in chatter mode, for example as a function of the pressure of the supplied fluid.

Publication number: 20100319325Abstract: Proposed is a device for metering fuel into the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine. An injection valve is arranged in the exhaust system and is cooled by a flowing cooling liquid even in its closed state. The injection valve is supplied with fuel via a fuel inflow, from which a first partial flow is injected into the exhaust gas and from which a second partial flow is recirculated via a fuel collecting return line into a fuel storage tank. The fuel inflow is fed from a low-pressure system of an injection system which serves for metering fuel for combustions which take place in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. The device has a damping mechanism, which is hydraulically connected to the fuel inflow, for damping pressure oscillations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2007Publication date: December 23, 2010Inventors: Volker Reusing, Stafan Stein

Procedure for diagnosis of an emission treatment method and procedures to carry out same said method
Patent number: 7698934Abstract: A procedure specifically for the execution of a diagnosis of an emission treatment system is being introduced. The pressure of the reagent between the first and second valve and/or between the second valve and the injector valve is measured and the pressure measuring signal are the basis of the diagnosis. The first and second valve, are opened in an alternating cycle, where the opening time, and/or the period duration of the first and second valves are set in such a way that the emerging diagnostic flow volume is smaller than the measuring flow volume. The procedures pursuant to the invention thereby reduce the influence of dynamic precursors of the reagent flow in the reagent line and enables, aside from an increase in reliability of the diagnosis results, a diagnosis possibility of small leakages.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Volker Reusing, Stefan Stein, Ralf Scholl, Guenter Keusen, Carsten Bork -
