  • Patent number: 9562454
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust-gas treatment device for processing exhaust gas from a combustion aggregate, especially a diesel engine. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for processing exhaust gas from a combustion aggregate by means of selective catalytic reaction, and it also relates to a motor vehicle in which the method according to the invention is implemented or which has the exhaust-gas treatment device according to the invention. It is provided that the exhaust-gas treatment device comprises an exhaust-gas system and, arranged in it, an oxidation catalyst, a reduction catalyst for selective catalytic reduction, and a particle filter, whereby the oxidation catalyst is arranged upstream from the reduction catalyst and the reduction catalyst is arranged upstream from the particle filter.

  • Patent number: 8966884
    Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment device includes an exhaust gas treatment component for conducting a flow in a flow direction from an inflow side to an outflow side. A metering device for metering reducing agent into the exhaust gas treatment device is disposed downstream of the outflow side in the flow direction. The metering device has a metering direction which runs at least partially counter to the flow direction. The outflow side of the exhaust-gas treatment component is spanned at least partially by a porous layer and there is a spacing between the metering device and the exhaust-gas treatment component selected in such a way that injected reducing agent reaches the porous layer. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.
