Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022078786A1] The invention relates to a method for determining the length of a heated pressure line for a conveying device for an aqueous urea solution in a motor vehicle from a tank to an injector, wherein the pressure line is electrically heatable and is heated, utilizing ohmic resistance, by the application of a voltage to an electrical conductor led on the pressure line, and wherein the length of the pressure line is calculated by means of the following formula: formula (I), in which A refers to the cross-sectional area of the electrical conductor, ρ refers to the electrical resistivity of the electrical conductor and RHeizleitung refers to the electrical resistance of the electrical conductor used to heat the pressure line.
