Distributor
The distributor connects the water pump to the cleaning nozzles and distributes the cleaning fluid under high pressure to the corresponding sensors. Individual sensors are cleaned sequentially, whereby the distributor can switch quickly between the individual ports.
Highlights
- Central switching valve with ten outlet ports
- Communication with Water Pump and Vehicle Controller in one device
- Short cleaning operation via fast switching between ports
Advantages
- Fast switching between individual channels with
- < 50 ms for neighboring ports
- < 180 ms for opposite ports
- Compact design for easy integration into the vehicle
- High system pressure of 7 bar in combination with Schaeffler water pump for the best possible cleaning performance and low water consumption
Features
- Distributor with ten outlets for cleaning ten sensors
- Rotary switching principle
- Integrated electronics for controlling the distributor and the water pump
Pump
The Pump generates the necessary water pressure as required to clean ADAS sensors. The cleaning fluid is delivered to the distributor under high pressure.
Highlights
- Long-life pump with high durability
- Best cleaning performance
- Low liquid consumption
Advantages
- High cleaning pressure leads to efficient cleaning performance and low water consumption
- The water tank can be smaller, saving weight and therefore CO2
- This results in a fast cleaning time, which in turn contributes to driving safety
- Compact design, comparable with today’s wiper water pumps
Features
- Durable water pump with BLDC motor, specially developed for sensor cleaning
- Flexibly adjustable water pressure from 0-8 bar
- Simple integration into the water tank
