The valve has an outlet opening that opens directly into the exhaust-gas chamber. The outlet opening is fluidically connected to the reservoir through the valve. The metering system can be produced with only little technical outlay. The metering system includes a recirculating circuit, and the valve has a holding chamber for the reducing agent. The holding chamber is disposed downstream of the outlet opening in a reducing agent flow direction, and is fluidically connected into the recirculating circuit. The metering system includes a coolant circuit for cooling the valve. The valve and its outlet opening is disposed in the exhaust-gas chamber to position the principal axis of the valve at an angle of less than 90° with respect to a principal direction of flow of exhaust gas in the exhaust-gas chamber. The metering system includes a baffle disposed in the exhaust-gas chamber to cause a change in direction of reducing agent introduced therein.

Abstract: When determining the amount of a reducing agent solution to be introduced into the exhaust gas of a combustion system, in particular of a diesel engine, for catalytically reducing the nitrogen oxides by the SCR process, the concentration of the reducing agent in the reducing agent solution as well as the parameters characterizing the operating state of the combustion system, the exhaust gas and/or the catalyst are taken into consideration. As a result, the safety margin with respect to a theoretically optimum amount to be introduced that is required to avoid a leakage of reducing agent can be reduced, whereby the conversion rate of the nitrogen oxides is improved.

Abstract: A premixing chamber of a nebulizing device for an exhaust gas purification system serves to mix a compressed gas such as compressed air, for example, with a reducing agent such as urea solution, for example. The premixing chamber is set up on the carburetor principle and includes a compressed gas feed having a taper and a reducing agent feed opening in the region of the taper. The premixing chamber ensures that no deposits originating from the reducing agent can settle in the region of the mixing route. The premixing chamber is provided, in particular, for an exhaust gas purification system of a vehicle fitted with a regulated diesel catalytic converter as well as for stationary diesel engines of up to about 1000 kW (mechanical power).

Abstract: A method is provided in which the reducing agent, during the starting phase of the internal-combustion engine and during operation with decreasing and, if appropriate, virtually constant exhaust gas temperature, is fed superstoichiometrically in relation to the nitrogen oxide concentration, while taking into account the temperature-dependent storage capacity of a denitration catalytic converter for the reducing agent. The reducing agent is otherwise fed substoichiometrically. In this manner, the catalytic converter is kept at all times at a preferred charge level, so that on one hand it is possible to provide sufficient stored reducing agent for the catalytic conversion and on the other hand it is possible to still have a reducing agent buffer available which avoids slip of the reducing agent. The invention can be used in all internal-combustion engines operated with air excess, such as diesel engines and lean-burn engines.

Abstract: A configuration for decomposing nitrogen oxides in a gas stream includes a plurality of catalytic converters disposed one after the other through which the gas stream can flow. Each of the catalytic converters has a honeycomb structure with many parallel cells through which the gas stream can flow. Each of the catalytic converters also has a predetermined cell density and a predetermined average level of activity defined as a proportion by weight of the catalytically active agent. The predetermined cell density of a second catalytic converter through which the gas stream flows after a first catalytic converter is lower than the predetermined cell density of the first catalytic converter. The predetermined average level of activity of the second catalytic converter is also higher than the predetermined average level of activity of the first catalytic converter. The configuration is preferably used in conjunction with an exhaust gas from a combustion drive unit.
