  • Patent number: 7901637
    Abstract: An exhaust emission purification device including a catalyst body with a plurality of flow channels extending between an intake side and a discharge side of the catalyst body. Further, the catalyst body is formed using a sintered catalyst material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 14, 2006
    Date of Patent: March 8, 2011
    Assignee: Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbH
    Inventors: Yousef Hemmatpour, Christian Smatloch, Axel Hinder
  • Patent number: 7198459
    Abstract: A casing assembly for a turbocharger of an internal combustion engine includes a rotor casing having an intake duct and an exhaust flow passage which is connected to an exhaust flange and constructed for attachment to the rotor casing such as to allow a relative movement between the exhaust flow passage and the rotor casing. In this way, a sliding fit is provided which prevents thermal stress in the system rotor casing and exhaust flow passage. An outer housing surrounds the exhaust flow passage, rotor casing and intake duct.

  • Patent number: 6708485
    Abstract: An exhaust system used for a motor vehicle and extending between an exhaust-generating internal combustion engine and an exhaust pipe for release of exhaust into the surrounding environment, includes a three-way catalytic converter disposed in proximity of the combustion engine, a NOx-adsorber disposed upstream of the exhaust pipe, and an exhaust line, which extends between the catalytic converter and the NOx-adsorber, for conducting exhaust. The exhaust line includes an inner tube, an outer tube in spaced-apart surrounding relationship to the inner tube to define a space, and a separation tube received in the space, to thereby define between the inner tube and the separation tube an inner annular gap for conducting exhaust, and between the outer tube and the separation tube an outer annular gap for conducting a coolant. A shut-off device is integrated in the inner tube for regulating the flow of exhaust through the inner tube.
