Abstract

A dosing pump assembly ( 9 ) is provided which is adapted to admix a liquid reducing agent to an exhaust gas flow. The dosing pump assembly includes an assembly housing ( 12 ) that houses an electric drive ( 15 ), a transmission ( 16 ), a membrane pump ( 17 ), and control and/or regulating electronics. The assembly housing ( 10 ) further includes a pre-mixing device in which the liquid reducing agent is impinged upon with a pressurized gas flow.

Claims (11)

1. A metering pump assembly for admixing a fluid reduction agent into an exhaust gas flow of a combustion engine, comprising:

an assembly housing containing an electrical drive;

a transmission;

a membrane pump;

at least one of control and regulation electronics; and

at least a portion of a pre-mixer, the membrane pump being fluidly connected between a reduction supply and the pre-mixer, the pre-mixer being in fluid communication with a pressurized air flow and the exhaust gas flow, the pre-mixer including a pre-flushing valve arranged within the assembly housing by which an exit conduit of the pump selectively connects to a conduit which leads to a tank for the reduction agent, or to a conduit leading to one of a first valve and the exhaust gas flow.

2. A metering pump assembly for admixing a fluid reduction agent into an exhaust gas flow of a combustion engine, comprising:

an assembly housing containing an electrical drive and a connection for a pressurized air supply conduit;

a transmission:

a membrane pump;

at least one of control and regulation electronics; and at least a portion of a pre-mixer, the membrane pump being fluidly connected between a reduction supply and the pre-mixer, the pre-mixer being in fluid communication with a pressurized air flow through a conduit and the exhaust gas flow, the pre-mixer including a shut-off valve disposed within the assembly housing which lies in the conduit leading to the pressurized air.
