Fluid tank for use in fluid heating system, for storing aqueous urea solution to reduce nitrogen oxide in exhaust gas of diesel engine of motor car, has heating element connected with cooling system such that fluid in tank volume is heated

摘要

The fluid tank (2) has a cooling system exhausting heat generated from a motor during operation of the motor. A tank volume (4) retains fluid. A heating element (10) is connected with the cooling system such that the fluid in the tank volume is heated by the heat generated during operation of the motor. The heating element is arranged at a bottom (8a) of the fluid tank to an outer side of the tank volume. The heating element is arranged between a confinement (8) of the tank volume and a protection and/or insulation wall. An independent claim is also included for a fluid heating system comprising a fluid tank.
