  • Patent number: 9957870
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas mixing pipe for admixing additive into an exhaust-gas stream of a combustion engine. The housing wall has multiple rows, arranged over a circumference U, of openings through which gas can flow into the interior of the pipe, wherein the at least one opening of a row forms in each case one stage M characterized according to its size by the average opening cross section Q of the openings, wherein the sum of all the opening cross sections Q of all the openings of all the rows of the exhaust-gas mixing pipe is equal to SQ. In that context, at least one first-order stage M1, is provided, wherein stage M1 has openings having an average opening cross section Q1. At least one second-order stage M2, is provided, with openings having an average opening cross section Q2, where Q2>=f Q1, where 5<=f<=25.
