  • Patent number: 11149605
    Abstract: An exhaust pipe for the exhaust tract of a combustion machine, which has an inlet opening for an air connection, is characterized by an inner pipe section which is surrounded by an outer pipe section in order to form an annular channel that is closed at one end and at the other end is open toward the inner volume of the exhaust pipe, wherein the inlet opening for the air connection opens into the outer pipe section. By means of such an exhaust pipe, advantageous mixing of air supplied via the air connection into the exhaust gas flowing within the exhaust pipe can be achieved with a simple design, which can be attributed in particular to the complete introduction of the air in combination with the flow direction that is present along the longitudinal axis of the annular channel and the exhaust pipe.
