LEAK DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240310236 titled 'LEAK DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS

The abstract describes a leak diagnosis apparatus for fuel tanks on vehicles, which calculates pressure and temperature changes to determine the presence of a leak.

  • Calculation unit determines pressure and temperature changes in the fuel tank when the ignition is turned off.
  • Determination unit assesses whether a leak is present in the fuel tank based on the calculated data.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for leak detection in fuel tanks. - Maintenance and repair services for vehicles.

Problems Solved: - Efficient and accurate detection of leaks in fuel tanks. - Prevents potential safety hazards and fuel wastage.

Benefits: - Early detection of leaks for timely repairs. - Enhances vehicle safety and fuel efficiency.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Fuel Tank Leak Diagnosis Apparatus for Vehicles" This technology can be used in automotive workshops, vehicle manufacturing plants, and fuel tank inspection services.

Questions about Fuel Tank Leak Diagnosis Apparatus: 1. How does the apparatus calculate pressure and temperature changes in the fuel tank? The calculation unit in the apparatus is configured to measure these changes when the ignition is turned off.

2. What are the benefits of early leak detection in fuel tanks? Early detection helps prevent safety hazards, reduces fuel wastage, and ensures timely repairs.


Original Abstract Submitted

a leak diagnosis apparatus for performing leak diagnosis of a fuel tank mounted on a vehicle, includes a calculation unit configured to calculate an amount of change in a pressure in the fuel tank and an amount of change in a temperature of a fuel in the fuel tank while an ignition is turned off, and a determination unit configured to determine whether a leak in the fuel tank is absent or present.
