Abstract: A device for cooling an exhaust gas stream, having an exhaust gas pipe receiving the exhaust gas stream, the exhaust gas pipe being surrounded at least in places by a heat shield arranged spaced therefrom, which together with the outside of the exhaust gas pipe forms a convection region for air supplied from the surrounding environment. A mouth region of the exhaust gas pipe extended relative to the heat shield projects in such a way into an open end of an adjoining outlet port that a reduced pressure relative to the surrounding environment may be produced in a suction region between the mouth region of the exhaust gas pipe and the outlet port as the air heated in the convection region due to the exhaust gas stream rises.

Abstract: Device for cooling an exhaust gas stream emerging from a soot particle filter, having an outlet connector provided on the soot particle filter for conveying out the exhaust gas stream, the outlet connector comprising a mouth region tapering in the direction of the exhaust gas stream, which region projects into an open end of an adjacent exhaust gas pipe in such a way that a reduced pressure relative to the surrounding environment may be produced in a suction region between the outlet connector and the exhaust gas pipe on passage of the exhaust gas stream.

Abstract: An assembly for cooling an exhaust gas stream includes an outlet nozzle exposed to the exhaust gas stream. The outlet nozzle projects into an open end of an adjacent exhaust gas pipe so that a reduced pressure relative to the surrounding environment is produced in a suction region between the outlet nozzle and the exhaust gas pipe by flow of exhaust gas. Adjusting members vary the flow cross section of the outlet nozzle.
