Abstract

A construction machine according to the disclosure includes a tank for receiving an additive provided for the treatment of exhaust gases of the construction machine, and the additive has a decomposition temperature. The construction machine furthermore comprises at least one connecting line which is configured to conduct the additive away from the tank and/or to the tank. A withdrawal unit is connected to the at least one connecting line and is configured to transport the additive from the tank to the at least one connecting line and/or from the at least one connecting line into the tank. The construction machine further comprises a heat management system configured to influence temperature of the additive in the tank such that it does not exceed the decomposition temperature of the additive.
