Both the first housing shell and the at least one end piece have an end face, and the end faces are directly opposite each other. A second housing shell forms several side walls of the heat exchanger housing. The first and second housing shells are soldered to one another and to the at least one end piece. Furthermore, a method for producing a heat exchanger is specified.

Abstract: A valve housing for an exhaust-gas valve includes a first housing half-shell and a second housing half-shell, wherein the first housing half-shell and the second housing half-shell complement each other to form the valve housing. A first valve seat for a valve flap assembly and a swivel bearing mount to swivel mount the valve flap assembly are formed exclusively on the first housing half-shell. Furthermore, an exhaust-gas valve having such a valve housing and an exhaust system having such an exhaust-gas valve are presented. A vehicle having such an exhaust system is also presented. In addition, a method of manufacturing an exhaust-gas valve is explained.

Abstract: A valve flap assembly for an exhaust-gas valve has a first valve flap provided for closing a first flow cross-section and a second valve flap provided for closing a second flow cross-section. The second valve flap is mounted for swiveling movement relative to the first valve flap. In addition, a valve arrangement for an exhaust system is presented which comprises such a valve flap assembly. Furthermore, an exhaust system for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle is presented, which comprises such a valve flap assembly and/or a valve arrangement. A vehicle having such an exhaust system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A valve actuating device, in particular for an exhaust system, comprises a disk assembly, an actuating arm, and a valve actuator wherein the disk assembly is arranged between the actuating arm and the valve actuator. The disk assembly, at least in part, thermally decouples the actuating arm from the valve actuator and includes at least two identically constructed disks with axial protrusions, which in an axial direction are directly arranged one behind the other and contact each other at the protrusions.

Abstract: A drive system for an exhaust gas flap of a vehicle exhaust gas system includes a drive element that is connected to an adjustment drive and an output element that is connected to an exhaust gas flap spindle. A resilient element is arranged between the drive element and the output element and comprises a center section and two end sections. The center section is used to transfer torque between the drive element and the output element, and wherein the center section and two end sections are coupled to the drive element or to the output element.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an exhaust gas carrying device, in particular an exhaust gas purification device, and a tool provided therefor include segment-like jaws that are used to deforma an outer housing. The jaws have indentations or projections adjacent to each other, and which are complementary to form a continuously surrounding indentation/projection. The reshaped outer housing is provided with one or more surrounding projections or indentations by the deformation.

Abstract: A vaporizer for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine has a vaporizer tube and a holding sleeve in which the vaporizer tube is inserted. A clamping sleeve sits on the vaporizer tube. The vaporizer tube includes two circumferentially surrounding clamping surfaces which protrude in a radial direction and cooperate with the holding sleeve and the clamping sleeve such that the clamping surfaces are clamped between the holding sleeve and the clamping sleeve by an axial clamping force to be gastight. At least one of the holding sleeve and the clamping sleeve includes a surrounding sealing edge which rests against the respective clamping surface via a line contact and forms an annular sealing seat. The vaporizer further includes a device preventing relative rotation between the holding sleeve and the vaporizer tube. A heater of the vaporizer is attached to the vaporizer tube using a resistance welding method.

Abstract: A housing for a component of an exhaust system, in particular for an exhaust gas purification device, has an envelope that comprises a shrunk clamping portion for the component, a transition portion that adjoins the clamping portion in an axial direction, and a connecting portion that adjoins the transition portion in the axial direction. The diameter of the connecting portion is larger than that of the clamping portion. A method of producing the housing for the component includes providing a tubular envelope, and inserting the component into the envelope. A shrinking step is then carried out in the clamping portion which terminates spaced apart from ends of the envelope as viewed in the axial direction, whereas the axial ends of the envelope are not acted upon.
