  • Patent number: 11913368
    Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment arrangement for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine includes a housing which is elongated in the direction of a housing longitudinal axis, and at least one exhaust gas treatment unit which is arranged in the housing and has a shell. At least one bearing/sealing unit with at least two bearing/sealing rings is arranged in a radial intermediate space formed between the shell and the housing. The at least two bearing/sealing rings follow one another radially, are nested inside one another and are each interrupted in a circumferential interruption region. The circumferential interruption region of at least one of the bearing/sealing rings is offset in the circumferential direction with respect to a circumferential interruption region of another one of the bearing/sealing rings.

  • Patent number: 11891936
    Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment arrangement for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine includes a first exhaust gas flow path leading from an exhaust gas inlet provided on a housing to an exhaust gas outlet provided on the housing and a second exhaust gas flow path leading from the exhaust gas inlet to the exhaust gas outlet. The second exhaust gas flow path is separate from the first exhaust gas flow path. A flow path switching unit changes the exhaust gas stream parts, which are conducted in the first exhaust gas flow path and the second exhaust gas flow path. A reactant supply device supplies reactant into the second exhaust gas flow path downstream of the exhaust gas inlet and an SCR catalyst arrangement is provided in the second exhaust gas flow path upstream of the exhaust gas outlet.

  • Patent number: 11536179
    Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment assembly unit for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a tubular outer housing (12) elongated in a direction of an outer housing longitudinal axis (LA), a tubular inner housing (14) elongated in the direction of an inner housing longitudinal axis (LI), an exhaust gas treatment unit (16) being carried in the inner housing (14), and a locking fixing device (24) detachably fixing the inner housing in the outer housing. The locking fixing device (24) includes a locking fixing element (26) held at the inner housing (14) in both axial directions with a radially outwards prestressed locking meshing area (28). In association with the locking meshing area (28), a locking receiving area (42) at the outer housing (12), interacts with the locking meshing area (28) for holding the inner housing (14) in the outer housing (12) in at least one axial direction.

  • Patent number: 11484847
    Abstract: A mixer assembly unit, for an exhaust system exhaust gas treatment unit of an internal combustion engine, mixes exhaust gas discharged by the internal combustion engine with reactant. A mixing section (12), downstream in relation to a reactant release device (14), mixes exhaust gas, flowing in an exhaust gas flow direction, with reactant. The mixing section includes a core flow duct (34), extending in a direction of a mixing section longitudinal axis (L), through which a first exhaust gas partial stream (T1) flows. A second exhaust gas partial stream (T2) flows through a jacket flow duct (36) surrounding the core flow duct and separated from the core flow duct by an inner wall (30). The reactant release device releases reactant into the core flow duct or/and into the first exhaust gas partial stream. A mixer (38) is provided at an upstream end area (22) of the mixing section.
