  • Patent number: 10337381
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust gas aftertreatment device for an internal combustion engine, where the device comprises: an exhaust duct allowing a through-flow of exhaust gas; a catalytic NOx converter arranged in the exhaust duct; and a fluid inlet arranged to introduce a liquid reductant into or onto a structure in the exhaust duct upstream the catalytic NOx converter. The invention is characterized in that the structure is a sorption structure having pores configured to retain the liquid reductant in liquid form until it evaporates. The invention also relates to a vehicle provided with such a device.

  • Patent number: 10190466
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an exhaust gas aftertreatment device for purification of exhaust gas emissions. The exhaust gas aftertreatment device is arranged in an exhaust gas passage subsequently of an internal combustion engine and includes an encapsulating portion, a first catalytic substrate and a second catalytic substrate. The second catalytic substrate may be of SCR type. The exhaust gas aftertreatment device includes a reductant injecting device, a pipe and an obstructing portion, where the reductant injecting device is arranged such that reductant is injectable within the pipe and the exhaust gas flow through the pipe can be controlled by the obstructing portion.

  • Patent number: 10012124
    Abstract: An exhaust gas aftertreatment device for an internal combustion engine comprises a housing, first and second catalytic substrates arranged inside the housing such that the first catalytic substrate is arranged upstream of the second catalytic substrate, and a reductant injector arranged in between the first and second catalytic substrates. Further, the first and second catalytic substrates are arranged such that a fluid flow direction through the exhaust gas aftertreatment device is angled. A flow redirecting wall is arranged downstream of the first catalytic substrate such that the fluid flow between the first and second catalytic substrates at least partially passes an outer circumference of the first catalytic substrate before reaching the second catalytic substrate. The redirecting wall is inclined to an outlet surface of the first catalytic substrate and the reductant injector is arranged at the redirecting wall at a position distant from the outlet surface.

  • Patent number: 9376951
    Abstract: A compact exhaust gas aftertreatment device for an internal combustion engine comprises a catalytic converter, wherein the catalytic converter comprises an encapsulating member, a pipe member, an exhaust gas guiding means and two catalytic converter substrates. The exhaust gas aftertreatment device provides very good exhaust gas mixing properties. Additionally, the exhaust gas guiding means is configured to withstand thermal stress due to exposure to hot exhaust gas emissions.

  • Publication number: 20120096838
    Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment arrangement and a method thereof is contemplated for treating exhaust gases flowing along a flow path in an exhaust pipe system. The arrangement comprises a supply element being in communication with a source comprising an ammonia gas. The supply element comprises at least two discharge apertures being adapted to communicate with the flow path such that the ammonia gas may be dispersible from the discharge apertures into the exhaust gases in the flow path in at least two discharge directions.
