Secondary air pumps and systems

Rheinmetall entwickelt und produziert Komponenten zur Lufteinblasung in Abgasnachbehandlungssysteme. Hierzu zählen Ventile – wahlweise elektrisch oder pneumatisch betätigt. Ebenso Gebläse, ungeregelt mit DC-motorischen Antrieb oder regelbar mit BLDC-motorischem Antrieb.

Mögliche Einsatzzwecke sind z.B. eine Beschleunigung der Katalysatoraufheizung beim Kaltstart oder eine kontrollierte Partikelfilterregeneration

Electrically actuated valves from Pierburg are distinguished by their short response times. Moreover, they need neither a vacuum or pressure supply, which in modern vehicles must often be delivered by a separate vacuum pump. This results in considerably increased efficiency.

Technical Data  
Operating voltage 8 - 16V
Current consumption (20 °C) 2,6 A
Temperature range - 40 °C to 120 °C
Pressure loss 30 kg/h 17 hPa
Absolute pressure  5.000 hPa abs

These pneumatically-actuated valves are an attractively-priced option. The valves are actuated by vacuum or air pressure.

DC motor driven air pumps are generally used during cold starting. Here, they accelerate catalytic converter heat-up, which in turn reduces harmful emissions. They are predominantly installed in systems which require an almost constant airflow for a short period of operation, but where no speed variation is required.

Technical Data  
Operating voltage 8 - 16V
Air flow at 100 mbar (depending on design) 20 to 40 kg/h
current consumption (13.5V / 20 °C / max. dP 100 hPa) < 43 A Peak
Temperature range - 40 °C to 120 °C

In contrast to air pumps with DC motors, the speed of brushless DC (BLDC) motor-driven air pump is variable. This is why they are always used when a variable air flow is required, for example in applications with long power-on cycles and variable operating conditions

Technical Data  
Voltage min./max. 10V to 16V
Operation pressure   0 - 400 mbar (at Peak: 450 mbar time limited)
Air mass flow  2- 60 kg/h (at max. flow, time limited)
Communication PWM diagnostic / PWM control / Lin
Spin up time < 1,000 ms (3,000 rpm → 25,000rpm)
Temperature (min./max.) - 40°C to 120 °C (storage)
Max. temperature, operation +120 °C
Operation time   continuous (P < 800 W)
