FLUID RESERVOIR HAVING A HEATING RESERVE BOWL

摘要

This relates in particular to a reservoir for a urea-based reducing agent, having an integrated electric heating element, which can be used in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine for the purposes of removing pollution. The heating element (10) provided for defrosting the reducing agent (6) is placed inside a cavity (16) that is delimited by a bowl (13), which is itself placed inside the reservoir (1). The cavity (16) of the bowl (13) communicates with the internal volume (5) of the reservoir via a valve (20). A suction pipe (12) for the reducing agent dips into the cavity (16) of the bowl (13), the starting point (18) of this pipe being located close to the heating element (10). Operation is thus ensured when the vehicle is in an inclined or sloping condition, and also in the case of frost.
