Abstract: A device for supplying a chemical reactant into the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, comprising: a mixer housing; a metering pipe passing through the mixer housing, towards which the exhaust flow flowing into the mixer housing flows in a transverse direction, and having a first end and a second end; a metering unit arranged at the first end of the metering pipe and connected to a reactant supply for discharging reactant into the metering pipe; and means for generating a swirl flow of the exhaust flow within the metering pipe. The metering pipe has at least one inflow opening extending over a casing surface segment of no less than 45° in the circumferential direction and extending over at least one section of the length of the metering pipe, said inflow opening having a shovel-like hood arranged on the metering pipe and directing the exhaust flow eccentrically into the inflow opening.
