The invention relates to a ventilating device (2) for liquid containers (1), in particular for liquid containers (1) for an aqueous urea solution, including a housing (3) which can be mounted at an opening of the liquid container (1) and has a first opening (4) to the liquid container (1) and a seco
The invention relates to a ventilating device (2) for liquid containers (1), in particular for liquid containers (1) for an aqueous urea solution, including a housing (3) which can be mounted at an opening of the liquid container (1) and has a first opening (4) to the liquid container (1) and a second opening (5) to the surroundings of the liquid container (1), a diaphragm (6) which is arranged within the housing (3), is permeable to air, is impermeable to liquid and is configured in such a way that a deformation of the diaphragm (6) takes place by a pressure change in the liquid container (1), as a result of which the volume within the housing (3) within the diaphragm (6) changes, with the result that the displaced volume leaves the housing (3) via the second opening (5) to the surroundings of the liquid container (1). Furthermore, the invention relates to a liquid container (1) having a ventilating device (2) according to the invention.

1. A container including a ventilating device comprising: the container comprises a liquid container to contain an aqueous urea solution under different pressures; andthe ventilating device comprising a housing mounted at an opening of the liquid container, wherein the housing has a first opening to
1. A container including a ventilating device comprising: the container comprises a liquid container to contain an aqueous urea solution under different pressures; andthe ventilating device comprising a housing mounted at an opening of the liquid container, wherein the housing has a first opening to the liquid container and a second opening to surroundings of the liquid container, said second opening having a lowest point;a diaphragm arranged within the housing that is deformable in response to pressure changes and providing a pumping action to convey fluid such that a volume within the housing exists above the diaphragm as a housing volume, wherein the diaphragm is permeable to air and is impermeable to liquid, and wherein, when pressure increases in the liquid container, the diaphragm is moveable from an unloaded state upward into the housing volume to reduce the housing volume above the diaphragm is deformable into a form that operates with the housing to convey a fluid, when located within the housing volume above the diaphragm, to leave the housing via the second opening to the surroundings of the liquid container;wherein the diaphragm is arranged within the housing such that the diaphragm sags downward under a force of gravity, and a lowest point of the diaphragm lies at a lower level in an installation position than a plane of fastening points of the diaphragm to the housing; andwherein the diaphragm operates with said pumping action; and wherein the volume within the housing above the diaphragm in the unloaded state to the lowest point of the second opening is smaller than a maximum pumping volume of the diaphragm. 2. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a diaphragm carrier within the housing to which the diaphragm is attached. 3. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the diaphragm carrier or the housing comprises one or more struts which extend through an interior of the diaphragm carrier or the housing in a horizontal direction in the installation position. 4. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the struts form a cross shape. 5. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the diaphragm carrier is formed of polyethylene. 6. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ventilating device is mounted on an upper face of the liquid container. 7. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the diaphragm is arranged in a horizontal plane within the housing. 8. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the diaphragm is formed of polytetrafluoroethylene. 9. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the diaphragm is attached by being molded into the housing or between the struts in the housing or in the diaphragm carrier. 10. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the diaphragm sags downward under the force of gravity in the unloaded state. 11. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a surface of the diaphragm which points to the second opening repels liquid. 12. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second opening has a fluid line connection. 13. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 12 further comprising a fluid line connected to the fluid line connection, and wherein the fluid line has a maximum length of 10 cm and is arranged in a downward manner in the installation position. 14. The container including the ventilating device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the container and the ventilating device are configured in one piece. 15. A container including a ventilating device comprising: the container comprises a liquid container to contain an aqueous urea solution under pressure; andthe ventilating device comprising a housing mounted at an opening of the liquid container, wherein the housing has a first opening to the liquid container and a second opening to surroundings of the liquid container, said second opening having a lowest point;a diaphragm arranged within the housing that is deformable in response to pressure changes and providing a pumping action to convey fluid such that a volume within the housing exists above the diaphragm as a housing volume, wherein the diaphragm is permeable to air and is impermeable to liquid;wherein the diaphragm is arranged within the housing such that the diaphragm deflects downward under a force of gravity, and a lowest point of the diaphragm lies at a lower level in an installation position than a plane of fastening points of the diaphragm to the housing;wherein, when pressure increases in the liquid container, the downward deflection of the diaphragm is transitionable to an upward deflection within the housing into a form that operates with the housing to convey a fluid, when located within the housing volume above the diaphragm, to leave the housing via the second opening to the surroundings of the liquid container;wherein the diaphragm operates with said pumping action; and wherein the volume within the housing above the diaphragm in the unloaded state to the lowest point of the second opening is smaller than a maximum pumping volume of the diaphragm.
