  • Patent number: 10301998
    Abstract: A heat exchanger system for treatment of a flow of exhaust gases in an exhaust gas aftertreatment system of a vehicle. The heat exchanger system includes a nitrogen monoxide (NO) oxidation site for oxidizing nitrogen monoxide to nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The NO oxidation site is positioned such that the flow of exhaust gases at a downstream end (40) of the NO oxidation site in use of the heat exchanger system is arranged to proceed at a temperature within a predetermined temperature interval corresponding to a desired NO to NO2 (NO:NO2) ratio interval in the flow of exhaust gases. An exhaust gas aftertreatment system and a vehicle including such a heat exchanger system, and a method for using such a heat exchanger system, are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7921647
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine exhaust gas system includes an EGR arrangement adapted to lead a first flow of exhaust gas, the EGR flow, from an outlet side of the engine to an inlet side of the engine, an exhaust gas conduit adapted to lead away a second flow of exhaust gas, the exhaust flow, from the outlet side of the engine, and an energy recovering unit, such as a turbo, associated with the exhaust gas conduit. The unit is adapted to recover exhaust gas energy from the exhaust flow. The system includes a heat exchanger adapted to allow heat exchange between at least a part of the EGR flow and at least a part of the exhaust flow, the heat exchanger being associated with the exhaust gas conduit at a position downstream the energy recovering unit.
