  • Device for the distribution of flowable additives in exhaust gas systems
    Patent number: 8615984
    Abstract: A device is provided for the distribution of flowable additives in exhaust gas systems of an internal combustion engine, in particular for the distribution of a water/urea mixture in an exhaust gas system of a diesel engine, having an injection device in particular opening into the exhaust tract before a so-called SRC catalytic converter, with a swirl generation device being provided for the improvement of the mixing of the exhaust gas with the additive in the introduction region of the additive in the exhaust tract.

  • Sensor for detecting the amount of a reducing agent and the amount of a pollutant in an exhaust gas
    Patent number: 8601795
    Abstract: A system assembly detects the amount of reducing agent and the amount of pollutant in an exhaust gas. The system assembly has a first pollutant sensor, which is cross-sensitive to the reducing agent, and is provided for emitting a first measuring signal proportional to the amount of pollutant in the exhaust gas for use in front of a filtering device for the selective reducing of the reducing agent or the pollutant in the exhaust gas. A second pollutant sensor, which is also cross-sensitive to the reducing agent, emits a second measuring signal proportional to the amount of pollutant in the exhaust gas for use behind the filtering device.
