Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is made available for monitoring a pressure sensor ( 18 ) in a pressure-controlled delivery and metering system for a liquid reactant of a catalytic converter, in particular of an SCR catalytic converter. The delivery and metering system is provided for delivering the reactant from a tank ( 10 ) and for metering the reactant via a pressure line ( 16 ) and a metering module ( 19 ). In order to monitor the pressure sensor ( 18 ) which is located in the pressure line ( 16 ), a flow rate measurement is carried out in the pressure line ( 16 ) and/or in a return path ( 17 ) taking into account the relationship between the pressure p and the corresponding flow rate v.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A pressure-controlled delivery and metering system for a reactant of a catalytic converter, the system comprising: a catalytic converter reactant delivery path; a catalytic converter reactant delivery pump ( 11 ) positioned in the catalytic converter reactant delivery path; a pressure sensor ( 18 ) configured to monitor a pressure of the catalytic converter reactant in the reactant delivery path; and at least one flow sensor ( 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 ) configured to monitor the pressure sensor ( 18 ) using at least one flow rate measurement of the catalytic converter reactant. 2. The pressure-controlled delivery and metering system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one flow sensor ( 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 ) is in a pressure line ( 16 ). 3. The pressure-controlled delivery and metering system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one flow sensor ( 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 ) is in a return path ( 17 ). 4. The pressure-controlled delivery and metering system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one flow sensor ( 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 ) is in a pressure line ( 16 ) and in a return path ( 17 ). 5. The pressure-controlled delivery and metering system according to claim 1 , wherein the catalytic converter is an SCR catalytic converter. 6. The pressure-controlled delivery and metering system according to claim 1 , further comprising a return path ( 17 ) with a return pump ( 22 ). 7. The pressure-controlled delivery and metering system according to claim 1 , further comprising a restrictor ( 20 ), a pressure line ( 16 ), a pressure sensor ( 18 ) and a metering module ( 19 ).
