  • Mixing Device and Aftertreatment Device
    Publication number: 20200009514
    Abstract: A mixing device for mixing exhaust gas from a combustion engine of a vehicle with a solution for lowering the content of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas includes a casing with an exhaust inlet, an exhaust outlet, and a corner region in which an exhaust gas flow is diverted toward the exhaust outlet. The corner region has an opening for a dosing unit. A flow guide is arranged within the casing. The flow guide is configured to divide a total of the exhaust gas flow into a first exhaust gas stream and a second exhaust gas stream. A gap for the second exhaust gas stream is formed between the flow guide and a side wall of the casing. In the side wall the opening for the dosing unit is located. An end region of the flow guide is arranged upstream of the opening for the dosing unit.

  • Method and Device to Determine the Nitrogen Oxide-Storage Capability of a Catalytic Converter of a Vehicle
    Publication number: 20190390583
    Abstract: A method to determine a nitrogen oxide storage capacity of a catalytic converter of a vehicle in which a concentration of nitrogen oxides is measured in an exhaust gas downstream of the catalytic converter includes, in at least one first step, setting a concentration of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas at which the catalytic converter absorbs nitrogen oxides, and in at least one second step, setting a concentration of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas at which a desorption of nitrogen oxides by the catalytic converter takes place. The nitrogen oxide storage capacity of the catalytic converter is determined by considering a behavior of the catalytic converter at least during the desorption of nitrogen oxides.

  • Exhaust gas after-treatment unit for an internal combustion engine and procedure for using a drive mechanism with such an exhaust gas after-treatment unit
    Patent number: 10502107
    Abstract: An exhaust gas after-treatment unit for an internal combustion engine, particularly for a motor vehicle, includes a first selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalytic converter through which the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine can flow and at least one particle filter for retaining the soot particles from the exhaust gas. The particle filter, which is located downstream from the first SCR catalytic converter, is equipped with a heavy metal and precious metal free catalyzing coating which oxidizes the soot particles retained by the particle filter, where downstream from the particle filter there is a second SCR catalytic converter through which the exhaust gas can flow.
