Abstract: A device is provided for preventing theft of a first vehicle component which is releasably connected to a second vehicle component. The theft preventing device includes a cover member arranged for obstructing removal of the first component from the second component and a locking member, which is configured for locking the cover member or the second component in an operational position in which the cover member obstructs the removal of the first component from the second component.

Abstract: A gas flow regulating device for cleaning a particulate filter is configured to be arranged in connection to the filter at a side thereof in a through-flow of a gas to be used for cleaning the filter. The device is a standalone unit configured to be removably installed in connection with a cleaning process, wherein the device includes a frame defining a gas flow passage and a gas flow regulating element arranged inside the frame, wherein the gas flow regulating element is provided with at least one opening for gas through-flow and a blocking part capable of blocking a portion of a gas through-flow area of the filter such as to force the gas to flow through the at least one opening, wherein the gas flow regulating element is movably arranged between at least two different positions, and wherein the at least one opening covers different portions of the gas through-flow area in the different positions.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for cleaning a particulate filter in a vehicle provided with an internal combustion engine is provided. The particulate filter is mounted in an operative position inside an exhaust muffler under normal operation of the engine. The method involves performing a cleaning process including disassembling and removing the particulate filter from a first end of the muffler; reversing and reassembling the particulate filter a cleaning position at the first end of the muffler; starting and operating the engine by controlling the engine speed according to a predefined cycle until a predetermined condition is fulfilled; and stopping the engine and returning the particulate filter to its operative position inside the exhaust muffler.

Abstract: An exhaust gas-treating device (1) for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle, is provided with a housing (2), which has a jacket (3) extending circumferentially on the side and at least one bottom (4). The homogenization of the exhaust gas flow is improved with a mixing housing (14), which is arranged in the interior space (23) of the housing (2) and which has a mixing chamber (15). An inlet (16) of the mixing housing passes through the bottom (4) and communicates with the mixing chamber (15). An outlet (17) of the mixing housing passes through the bottom (4) and communicates with the mixing chamber (15).

Abstract: An exhaust gas after treatment system for treating exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine is provided. The system includes a soot catalytic converter and an SCR catalytic converter, which reduces NOx-emissions by means of a reagent delivered via an injector located upstream of the SCR catalytic converter. According to the invention the soot catalytic converter is located between the injector and the SCR-catalytic converter.

Abstract: An apparatus for mixing liquid medium into a gaseous medium flowing through an exhaust pipe from an internal combustion engine is provided. The liquid medium is supplied to the exhaust pipe with varied mass flow via an injector nozzle directed into the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe has a mixer placed downstream of the injector nozzle and a flow path disposed parallel with the mixer and extending through a perforated surface.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for damping resonance in a conduit (10) utilized for transporting exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine. The resonance is damped by virtue of the conduit (10) being provided with at least one perforation (14) located at a distance from the outlet end (11) of the conduit.
