Abstract
A reservoir or container for a urea solution that includes an upper shell having at least one upper pillar-type structure, a lower shell having at least one lower pillar-type structure spatially arranged opposite to and connected to the at least one upper pillar-type structure to define an internal container volume to receive the urea solution, and a heater in the internal container volume to control the temperature of the urea solution. The at least one lower pillar-type structure is arranged adjacent to the heater.
Claims20
A container for a urea solution, the container comprising:
- an upper shell having at least one upper pillar-type structure;
- a lower shell having at least one lower pillar-type structure spatially arranged opposite to and connected to the at least one upper pillar-type structure to define an internal container volume to receive the urea solution;
- and
- a heater in the internal container volume to control the temperature of the urea solution, wherein the at least one lower pillar-type structure is arranged adjacent to the heater.
A method for producing a container for a urea solution, the method comprising:
- providing an upper shell having at least one upper pillar-type structure and a lower shell having at least one lower pillar-type structure;
- and then
- joining the upper shell and the lower shell by connecting the at least one upper pillar-type structure with the at least one lower pillar-type structure to define an internal container volume to receive the urea solution.
A motor vehicle container for a fluid solution, the motor vehicle container comprising:
- an upper shell having an upper pillar-type structure;
- a lower shell having a lower pillar-type structure connected to the upper pillar-type structure to define an internal motor vehicle container volume to receive the fluid solution;
- and
- a heater in the internal motor vehicle container volume to control the temperature of the fluid solution, wherein the lower pillar-type structure is arranged adjacent to the heater.
