- hydrocarbons such as methane, butane or propane volatilize.
- the different hydrocarbon chains have different evaporation temperatures, so that different hydrocarbons are released from the liquid fuel 105 depending on the outside temperature. The higher the outside temperature and thus the temperature of the fuel 105, the more hydrocarbons pass into the gas phase.
- the tank 104 in which the fuel 105 is stored, is gas-tight.

From this, the concentration of the hydrocarbon in the gas stream can be determined, since this is proportional to the thermal conductivity or heat capacity of the gas.
- the mass flow of the gas flowing through the conduit gas flow can be determined.
- the hydrocarbon sensor may also include at least one ultrasound source and at least one ultrasound receiver. These sensors are located in line 101 so that ultrasound can be sent through the gas stream and travel from the ultrasound source to the ultrasound receiver. Ultrasound can be emitted once in a direction opposite to the direction of the gas flow and once rectified with the direction of the gas flow.

The ultrasonic transducer can convert electrical signals into acoustic signals and can convert acoustic signals into electrical signals.

- the valve 102 is controlled, for example via pulse width modulated signals from the engine control.
- the valve can be clock-controlled as a function of at least one signal of the evaluation unit.
- the activated carbon filter can be emptied relatively quickly, since the controller operates relatively quickly, especially in comparison with a controller based on data from the lambda probe.
- the amount of fuel injected into the internal combustion engine via the injection valves 115 does not become Basis of static maps, which are stored in the engine control, controlled, but determined directly by the sensors and the evaluation 114. Valve 102 is driven based on this data. For example, production tolerances and aging effects of the valve in the control of the valve and the control of other components, for example the injection valves 115, can also be taken into account.
