  • Patent number: 10316726
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas module A for an internal combustion engine, which exhaust-gas module has a base housing having a first side wall, at least one second side wall, an inlet for connection to the internal combustion engine and at least one outlet, wherein the inlet is arranged in the first side wall, and having multiple exhaust-gas purification components which are arranged in the base housing, wherein at least one SCR and/or one DOC are/is provided, wherein the at least one outlet is arranged in the second side wall and serves for the connection of an exhaust tailpipe of the internal combustion engine and/or alternatively for the coupling of an attachment housing, wherein the rest of the base housing, with the exception of the second side wall, is formed without outlets, wherein a connection contour with a circumferential contour U1 which has a basic shape G1 is provided for the connection of the attachment housing, wherein the connection contour delimits the second side wall at the edge, wherein at least one of

  • Patent number: 8443933
    Abstract: An exhaust system composed of a plurality of components for an internal combustion engine for connecting to a manifold, the exhaust system includes at least one first section, which is provided indirectly or directly after the manifold in the flow direction, and a second section, which is directly adjacent thereto in the flow direction, wherein the two sections are connected to each other by a mechanical decoupling element. The resonant oscillations in the range above 600 Hz are to be attenuated in the exhaust system by more than 15 dB and, at the same time, the exhaust system is to be sufficiently rigid and self-supporting and designed to be lastingly gas-tight. For this purpose, a single-walled arid self-supporting acoustic insulating element is integrated in the exhaust system in the flow direction upstream of, or in, the first section.
