Abstract: A method for the operation of a particulate filter system for an internal combustion engine wherein an. An exhaust gas stream enters a housing via a gas inlet opening. The housing receives a particulate filter, the stream flows into crude gas ducts connected to the gas inlet opening, and the stream can flow out of the particulate filter via clean gas ducts that are in fluid connection with a gas outlet opening, and are separated from the crude gas ducts. The crude gas ducts are connected to a connecting space in the direction of flow, and the connecting space has an exhaust port controlled by a closing mechanism. According to the invention, a method for operating an open particulate filter system is provided, by which the degree of separation of the soot particles from the exhaust gas can be increased.

An exhaust-gas aftertreatment system having a burner which operates reliably with a compact design and in which the supplied energy for operating the burner is reduced in relation to known systems. The fuel nozzle device has a nozzle body which extends at least from an inlet to an outlet and which has arranged therein a support body, which nozzle body and support body together produce a film-forming fuel supply duct.

Abstract: A method for operating a filter includes forcibly passing a stream of a fluid through a filter wall of the filter from a raw gas side to a clean gas side of the filter so as to separate out particles and particle constituents from the stream, wherein the particles and particle constituents are collected on the raw gas side and performing a regeneration process on the filter during operation of the filter. The regeneration process includes removing particles and particle constituents from the raw gas side of the filter and moving the removed particle constituents to a receiving device disposed on the raw gas side. Alternatively, the filter walls includes a plurality of channels on the raw gas side, each channel closed by a closure wall configured to be partially opened to enable the disposing of the particle constituents.

Abstract: The invention relates to a particulate filter comprising a monolithic filter body (10) with inflow channels (12) and outflow channels (13) that run at an angle to said inflow channels. Each inflow channel is separated from the outflow channels by at least one filter wall. The inflow channels (12) run in a linear manner into a chamber (17), in which the ash collects. The purified gases exit the particulate filter via an outlet (21).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of cleaning a particle filter (1) by means use of a fluid, whereby the filter material is alternately treated with pressure and high flow rate. By means of the above using this method, the ash is washed out of the filter material, essentially more effectively; namely, and more completely and more gently for the filter material (2) than previously possible.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing carbon particles from exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine by oxidation of carbon particles with nitrogen dioxide is provided and comprises a module through which exhaust gas flows. The module is an open, self-regenerating module in which are disposed open-pored, metallic expanded material components, including at least two first noble-metal-coated components that increase nitrogen dioxide concentration in the exhaust gas for the oxidation of carbon particles. The first components are disposed by themselves in the module, or in an alternating arrangement with uncoated and/or coated second metallic expanded material components. The first components are configured such that nitric oxide that results thereon during the oxidation of the carbon particles again reacts to form nitrogen dioxide and is thus reused multiple times.
