- the control unit 103 is designed to determine the rotational speed and the operating current of the electric motor 102. If the combination of the determined speed and the determined operating current results in a point located in the diagram 200 below the curve 203, the system pressure limit is not exceeded when the point resulting from the determined speed and the determined operating current lies between the curves 203 and 204, the system pressure limit value is exceeded and the critical system pressure limit value is undershot, so that the control unit 103 generates the first signal. If the group consisting determined speed and Mém operating current resulting point above the curve 204 is ⁇ sorted, so the system pressure limit value and the critical system pressure limit is exceeded, so that the second signal is generated.
- the system pressure limits or system ⁇ pressure limit curves 203 and 204 may be stored in the control unit 103rd Further, only one of the system pressure limit curves 203 or 204 may be stored on the control unit. In this case, data or points which define the system pressure limit values or system pressure limit curves 203 and 204 can also be stored on the control unit 103.
- a vehicle 300 is shown according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the vehicle includes an internal combustion engine 301, a fuel tank 302, and a conveyor 100, which is described in the context of the present invention, that supplies the internal combustion engine 301 with fuel from the fuel tank 302.
- the conveyor device 100 includes a pump 101, an electric motor 102 and a control unit 103.
- the control unit may be, for example, part of the engine control or retrofitted to the reliability of the Conveyor 100 to improve.
- a flowchart of a method for conveying a medium and limiting a system pressure of a delivery device having a vehicle pump driven by an electric motor comprises the steps of monitoring a current rotational speed and a current operating current of the electric motor Sl and generating a first signal with respect to a system pressure overflow of the conveying device if the current operating current of the electric motor exceeds a predefined operating current limit value S2.
- the predefined operating current limit value is dependent on the current rotational speed of the electric motor.
