Abstract:
A method for selectively heating a reducing agent line of an SCR device during operation of an exhaust gas purification system of an internal combustion engine and a device for exhaust gas purification, include a supply tank for a reducing agent for SCR applications, a device for introducing the reducing agent into an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine and at least one reducing agent line for fluidically connecting the supply tank to the device.
Abstract:
A configuration for purification of an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine includes at least one exhaust gas line having an element for exhaust gas purification with a first end face and a second end face. The exhaust gas flows through the element from the first end face to the second end face. An adding device is provided downstream of the element for adding a reactant to the exhaust gas flow. The adding device is positioned at a distance of no more than 30 mm from the second end face of the element in such a way that at least part of the added reactant strikes the second end face of the element. A method for adding a reactant into an exhaust line during the operation of an internal combustion engine is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for producing multiple structured sheet metal foils includes the steps of A) reshaping the sheet metal foil to produce a primary structure having a first primary structure width; B) reshaping the sheet metal foil having the primary structure to produce a secondary structure; and C) reshaping the structured sheet metal foil to produce a second primary structure width being smaller than the first primary structure width. A method for producing a metal honeycomb body, a catalyst carrier body having multiple structured sheet metal foils for exhaust gas purification and a tool for producing multiple structured sheet metal foils, are also provided.
Abstract:
A method for operating a motor vehicle which has a drive and an exhaust system with at least one controllable heating device to be placed in contact with exhaust gas, includes at least the following steps: (a) detecting at least one operating parameter of the exhaust system, (b) determining at least one influential variable of the heating device, (c) comparing the at least one influential variable with a target parameter of the exhaust system, and (d) activating the heating device in such a way that the operating parameter reaches the target parameter. A motor vehicle having a drive and an exhaust system is also provided.
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.
