Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust gas treatment device having at least one reservoir for a reducing agent and at least one delivery device for a reducing agent, includes at least checking a filling level of the at least one reservoir, checking a current exhaust gas mass flow, and delivering reducing agent if the filling level of the at least one reservoir is below a minimum filling level and the exhaust gas mass flow is in a low-load range. A motor vehicle having the exhaust gas treatment device is also provided.

Abstract: A metering unit for a reducing agent includes an injector for supplying the reducing agent to an exhaust gas treatment device. A temperature sensor is disposed at the injector. A method for metering reducing agent and a motor vehicle having a metering unit are also provided.

Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment unit at least includes an approach flow region, a diverting region, a backflow region and an outflow region disposed consecutively in terms of flow. The backflow region and the outflow region are disposed on an outer surface of the approach flow region and an addition unit for a reaction agent is disposed in the outflow region. A motor vehicle having an exhaust gas treatment unit is also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for reducing soot particles in exhaust gas, particularly of an internal combustion engine, includes first and second at least partially electrically conductive structures with an intermediate space therebetween, a high voltage source forming a potential between the first and second structures and at least one at least partially electrically conductive intermediate structure in the intermediate space receiving an intermediate potential. A method for treating the exhaust gas includes conducting exhaust gas from the first to the second structure and applying a high voltage at least temporarily between the first and second structures. At least part of the soot particles in the exhaust gas is ionized or agglomerated and deposited on the second structure. A high voltage between potentials of the first and second structures is applied at least temporarily to the intermediate structure. An electric field is influenced favorably and disruptions from undesirable voltage flashovers are reduced.

Abstract: A device for separating particles from an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine includes at least a pot with a base having a multiplicity of openings, at least one nonwoven layer positioned on the base of the pot, and a cover. The at least one nonwoven layer is positioned between the base and the cover. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.
