Abstract: The invention relates to a catalytic converter for treating exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, having a housing through which an exhaust gas may flow and which has an inflow side and an outflow side, wherein, in the housing, there is formed a plurality of flow channels (4, 13) which is flowed through along a main throughflow direction from the inflow side to the outflow side, wherein, in the housing, there is arranged at least one pipeline (5, 12) which is flowed through by a fluid which is independent of the exhaust gas that is caused to flow through the flow channels (4, 13).

Abstract: A device for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases from an exhaust-gas source, having a spatially delimited flow path through which flow may pass proceeding from the exhaust-gas source, having a heating catalytic converter which is arranged in the flow path and which, as viewed in a flow direction, firstly has a catalytically active catalytic converter through which flow may pass and, following this in the flow direction, has an electrically heatable heating disk, wherein at least one outlet of a secondary air supply is arranged in the region of the heating catalytic converter such that a gas flow referred to as secondary air is fed into the flow path in the region of the heating catalytic converter.

Abstract: A device for the aftertreatment of exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, having at least one catalytic converter, through which exhaust gas can flow, and at least one muffler formed by a closed volume and through which exhaust gas can flow along an inflow section to an outflow section. The catalytic converter is formed by a honeycomb body that has a plurality of flow channels through which exhaust gas can flow. The honeycomb body is accommodated in a casing tube, which surrounds the honeycomb body, and is connected to the casing tube in a materially bonded manner. The catalytic converter is arranged in the interior of the muffler.

Abstract: A metallic honeycomb body with channels through which a gas may flow, made up of layers of at least partially structured sheet metal, the layers of sheet metal having at least in subregions at least two different structures, of which the first structure, with a greater structure height (H), determines the size of the channels and the second structure has a much smaller structure height (h) between troughs and peaks and the form and/or the structure height (H) of the second structure being chosen such that a ceramic coating applied later may fill the troughs of the second structure on average to at least 10%, in particular at least 50%, of their structure height (h). With the honeycomb body according to the invention, more coating material per unit of volume is durably attached in a metallic honeycomb body without excessively increasing the pressure loss. This is of advantage particularly for applications for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) in diesel exhaust gases.

Abstract: A device for cleaning exhaust gases includes: a housing configured such that exhaust gas is flowable through the housing in a main throughflow direction; an injector configured to dose a fluid into a region of the housing through which exhaust gas flows; an evaporator arranged in the housing, the evaporator having a plurality of surface elements extending along the main throughflow direction of the housing, and the fluid being dosable into the fluid along a direction extending perpendicularly to the main throughflow direction of the housing; and a heater configured to electrically heat the evaporator.

Abstract: A honeycomb body for exhaust gas aftertreatment includes a first end face, a second end face, a central axis that penetrates the two end faces and a length. The honeycomb body has at least one at least partially structured metallic layer which is disposed about the central axis. A structure of the at least one metallic layer has elevations and depressions which extend at least over part of the length of the honeycomb body and run obliquely to the central axis. At least one metallic connecting strip is provided between adjacent regions of the at least one metallic layer. The metallic connecting strip is shorter than the length of the honeycomb body and forms a brazed connection or welded connection to the adjacent regions. A method for producing such a honeycomb body and a motor vehicle having the honeycomb body are also provided.
