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 current feed-through for an electrically heatable catalytic converter, wherein the catalytic converter has in the interior thereof at least one electrical conductor, which is electrically contactable by the current feed-through, having a central electrically conductive element, which is guided from the interior of the catalytic converter through the outer housing wall thereof, having an electrical insulation layer, which surrounds the electrically conductive element on its radial outer face, and having a metallic sleeve, in which the electrically conductive element and the electrical insulation layer is received, wherein at the current feed-through or directly adjacently to the current feed-through there is arranged a device for reducing the heat conduction from the interior of the catalytic converter along the current feed-through to a contact face arranged outside the catalytic converter.
