Overview

Fluid reservoirs mounted under the hood/body are subject to frequent temperature changes that cause expansion and contraction. Altitude changes can cause pressure differentials that can pull contaminants of all types – water, dirt, dust, debris and automotive fluids – into the reservoir, compromising its performance and that of related systems.

As an additional hurdle, new fluid reservoir designs must also be resistant to water spray and/or splash to ensure long term reliability.

Our vents offer long-term resistance to urea crystal growth, for reliable and sustained equalization of reservoir pressures. In addition, our vents provide:

  • water ingress protection
  • particulate protection, preventing entry of dust, dirt and debris
  • resistance to automotive fluids including, car wash fluids, and lubricants

Gore engineered venting products can provide a single venting solution for fluid reservoir venting needs, including urea reservoirs for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. Additionally, our vents’ low profile construction can simplify attachment during production.

As a result, our vents for fluid reservoirs can contribute to reduced unit costs - and enhanced reliability.

Headlamp condensation is a recurring problem for the automotive lighting industry. It will become even more of a challenge as the industry moves to full-LED headlamps, because existing venting solutions can only reduce – not sustainably prevent – such condensation.
