  • Publication number: 20230399963
    Abstract: A muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes at least one muffler component with a perforation defined by a plurality of through-flow openings in a wall of the muffler component. The through-flow openings can be flowed through in a flow direction in the direction from an upstream side of the wall to a downstream side of the wall. At least in the case of some or all of the through-flow openings of the perforation, a through-flow opening flow cross section decreases in the flow direction in order to provide a through-flow opening flow-guiding surface.

  • Patent number: 10167761
    Abstract: An injection device (14), for introducing a reducing agent (11) into an exhaust gas stream (8) of an exhaust system (7) of an internal combustion engine (1), has an exhaust pipe (15) for guiding the exhaust gas stream (8), which has a connecting piece opening (18) in a wall (17). A connecting piece (16) is inserted with an inner end (19) into the connecting piece opening (18) and is provided for connecting an injector (10) at an outer end (20). Simplified assembly is achieved if the connecting piece (16) has, at an inner end (19), a laterally projecting, fully circumferentially extending collar (22). The collar (22) is in contact, on an inner side (23) of the wall (17), with an opening edge (24) enclosing the connecting piece opening (18) and is welded to the wall (17).

  • Patent number: 9790833
    Abstract: A mixer (19), for an exhaust system (7) for mixing and/or evaporating a liquid (13) in an exhaust gas flow (8), especially for an SCR system (9), includes a plurality of guide blades (21) arranged in a star-shaped pattern. Simplified manufacturability of the mixer (19) is achieved if the guide blades (21) are connected each with a centrally arranged core (23) radially on the inside and if the guide blades (21). The guide blades (21) and the core (23) are formed by an integral cast part (24).

  • Patent number: 9410460
    Abstract: An exhaust system (1) of an internal combustion engine includes an oxidation catalytic converter (2), a particle filter (3), an injector (4) for injecting a reducing agent, a static mixer-evaporator (5), an SCR catalytic converter (6) and a housing (8). The oxidation catalytic converter is upstream of the particle filter and upstream of the SCR catalytic converter. The injector is upstream of the mixer-evaporator and the mixer-evaporator is upstream of the SCR catalytic converter. The housing has a centrally inner channel (9), a ring channel (10) concentrically around the inner channel, an eccentrically outer channel (11), a first deflecting chamber (12) connecting the outer channel with the ring channel and a second deflecting chamber (13) connecting the inner channel with the ring channel. The mixer-evaporator is in the inner channel and the oxidation catalytic converter or particle filter or SCR catalytic converter is ring-shaped and in the ring channel.
