Abstract:
An exhaust gas treatment device includes at least a first at least partially electrically conductive honeycomb body having a first front side and a first rear side, a second at least partially electrically conductive honeycomb body having a second front side and a second rear side, an intermediate space between the first honeycomb body and the second honeycomb body, a power supply for the formation of an electric potential between the first honeycomb body and the second honeycomb body, and a multiplicity of electrodes fastened to the first honeycomb body, extending beyond the first rear side over a first length into the intermediate space and positioned at a first distance from the second front side of the second honeycomb body. A method for treating motor vehicle exhaust gas containing particles and a motor vehicle are also provided.
Abstract:
A metal sheet having a microstructure, a carrier body having a plurality of sheets, and an exhaust system having the carrier body, are distinguished by a particularly long useful life in an automobile. Moreover, it is possible to bring about flow profiles coordinated exactly with the respective fields of use, so that a particularly efficient or extremely adaptable carrier body for purifying the exhaust gas of automobiles is provided.
Abstract:
A method for removing soot particles from an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, especially of a diesel engine, includes feeding the exhaust gas through a collecting element through which the exhaust gas can pass freely but which is provided with a plurality of deflections and/or zones of swirl and calming or stabilization. At least a proportion of the particles are held or swirled around in the collecting element until there is a sufficient probability of reaction with nitrogen dioxide and a majority of the collected particles have been removed. A collecting element has flow channels through which the exhaust gas can pass freely. However, the flow channels are configured in such a way as to form deflections or zones of swirl and calming or stabilization. A system having the collecting element is also provided.

Abstract:
A honeycomb body, in particular a catalyst carrier body, includes metallic foil of high-temperature corrosion-resistant steel with connecting points and an oxide layer with a thickness of 60 to 80 or 70 to 75 nm on each surface. The foil is composed of steel with chromium and aluminum components, particularly 1 to 5% aluminum. The oxide layer is substantially aluminum oxide or γ-aluminum oxide with a uniform thickness having a tolerance of less than 10% or less than 5% on all surfaces. The oxide layer may be on a rolled foil having a mean surface roughness of greater than 0.3 or 0.5 μm or approximately 0.6 μm in rolling direction and/or transversely thereto. The honeycomb body is durable under high loads and has defined connecting points. A foil having an oxide coat and a method for producing an oxide coat on a metallic foil are also provided.

Abstract:
A tank for a reducing agent which forms ammonia or which includes ammonia, has a planar first tank volume and at least one elongate second tank volume. A motor vehicle has an internal combustion engine, an exhaust system with an SCR catalytic converter and a reducing agent metering device and a body with a roof. A tank with a planar first tank volume for the reducing agent is provided on the roof. A method for operating an SCR system of a motor vehicle which has at least two tank volumes, a reducing agent metering device and an SCR catalytic converter, is also provided.

Abstract:
A tank for a reducing agent includes a tank wall having an outer side and an interior at least partially delimited by the tank wall. A sensor is disposed at the tank wall and has a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact. The first electrical contact and the second electrical contact communicate in an electrically conductive manner with the interior, extend through the tank wall from the interior to the outer side of the tank wall and are disposed at a first spacing of less than 5 cm from one another. A motor vehicle having the tank is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for metering a reducing agent from a metering device to an exhaust gas treatment device includes initially determining at least one operating parameter of the metering device. An injector pressure at an injector for feeding the reducing agent into the exhaust gas treatment device is then calculated from the at least one operating parameter. Then, an opening time for the injector is calculated, in which at least the injector pressure determined in step b) is used. The injector is then opened for the opening time calculated in step c). A method for setting up or configuring a control unit for a metering device and a motor vehicle having a metering device are also provided.
