Abstract:
A high-temperature-resistant component for an exhaust-gas treatment unit, an exhaust-gas treatment unit and a method for producing such a unit, include providing the component or the exhaust-gas treatment unit with a surface layer intended to prevent the formation of chromium carbide bridges during a brazing process for producing the exhaust-gas treatment unit.
Abstract:
A honeycomb body includes wound and/or stacked layers having a geometric center axis, a cavity rotationally symmetrically around the center axis and an outer lateral surface. Each layer extends approximately concentrically around the axis. At least one of the layers is at least partially structured forming channels through which a fluid can flow. The channels extend from the cavity outward to the outer lateral surface at a non-right cone angle to the axis. The channels have a cross-section changing along the channels from inside to outside. At least one structured layer and at least one intermediate layer are alternatingly disposed and helically layered. The structure height of the structured sheet-metal layer forming the channels is substantially constant and channel cross-sectional areas increase from inside to outside. The intermediate layer can be made of simple wires or of specially cut or folded smooth sheet-metal layers.
Abstract:
A dosing valve includes at least a valve housing with a duct, a valve body being movable in order to open and close the dosing valve and a spring exerting a spring force on the valve body and thus holding the valve body in a rest position. The spring is supported on at least one calibration body. The valve body, the spring and the at least one calibration body are disposed in the duct. The at least one calibration body is fastened in the valve housing at least by using a cohesive or material connection. A method for producing the dosing valve and a motor vehicle having the dosing valve are also provided.
Abstract:
A delivery unit for delivering a liquid additive from a tank into an exhaust gas treatment device includes at least a housing which can be mounted on the tank, and a component carrier which carries at least one pump and is fixed in the housing by a clamping plate. A motor vehicle having a delivery unit is also provided.
Abstract:
A mixer configuration for mixing an additive with an exhaust gas stream includes at least one overflow surface which is disposed in a mixing section of an exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe has a cross section and a main flow direction of the exhaust gas stream. The at least one overflow surface is disposed centrally in the mixing section, is directed along the main flow direction of the exhaust gas stream and has a multiplicity of closed depressions. The mixer configuration permits an excellent mixture of the exhaust gas stream with an additive, without generating a high flow resistance in the process. A motor vehicle having a mixer configuration is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for converting soot particles of an exhaust gas includes providing at least nitrogen dioxide or oxygen in the exhaust gas, ionizing soot particles with an electric field, depositing electrically charged soot particles on inner channel walls of at least one surface precipitator, and bringing at least nitrogen dioxide or oxygen into contact with the deposited soot particles on the inner channel walls of the at least one surface precipitator. A device for carrying out the method includes at least one surface precipitator having a plurality of channels through which the exhaust gas can flow and extending between an inlet region and an outlet region, and at least one deposit inhibitor for electrically charged soot particles provided in at least part of the inlet region, especially allowing the soot particles to be evenly deposited and the surface precipitator to be continuously regenerated.
Abstract:
A thermoelectric module includes an interrupted inner circumferential surface, an axis and an outer circumferential surface. A plurality of semiconductor elements having thermoelectric material are disposed in direction of the axis and between the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface and are electrically alternately connected to each other. At least some of the semiconductor elements include at least one inner frame part or an outer frame part and at least the inner frame parts form the interrupted inner circumferential surface. The inner circumferential surface also forms a cold side of the thermoelectric module and a dimensionally unstable sheath is provided at least at the interrupted inner circumferential surface. A vehicle having a plurality of thermoelectric modules is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for heating a delivery system providing reducing agent to an exhaust gas treatment device of an internal combustion engine having electrical components, includes determining a temperature in the delivery system, determining thermal energy required for error-free operation of the delivery system in a time interval, and introducing the required thermal energy into the delivery system by operating the electrical components within the time interval. The electrical components are activated at a time offset of at least 30 seconds. The required energy is determined so that the quantity of reducing agent to be delivered hourly is provided in liquid form at least four times after the time interval. The method prevents overloading of an electrical system of a motor vehicle when heating the delivery system and prevents ice cavity formation in a reducing agent in a tank. A motor vehicle having a delivery system is also provided.
Abstract:
A device for treating exhaust gas containing soot particles includes at least one ionization element for ionizing soot particles, at least one filter element having at least one section to which an electric potential can be applied and at least one agglomeration unit for at least partial agglomeration of electrically charged soot particles. The agglomeration unit is disposed between the ionization element and the filter element and the agglomeration unit has at least one outer pipe and at least one inner element. The filtering power of an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine is therefore increased by an increase in the agglomeration rate of the soot particles. A motor vehicle having the device is also provided.
Abstract:
A mounting for an injector includes at least one main body and a cap jointly or commonly forming a receptacle for the injector. The main body is formed of metal sheets which are connected to each other and together form at least one annular chamber which extends around the receptacle. In particular, a mounting for an injector is provided, which has a simple technical construction and can be cooled (optionally in a controlled manner). Moreover, the mounting has a particularly lightweight construction and is adapted to operation with considerable temperature differences. An injection device integrated in a mounting is also provided.
