Abstract
Abstract An injection device for a reducing agent, a mixing device and a catalyst device are provided in an exhaust pipe. The mixing device is disposed upstream of the injection device as seen in the direction of flow of the exhaust gas. An exhaust gas inlet pipe is connected to the exhaust pipe along the main axis of the exhaust pipe. A first level of the catalyst device may advantageously be a hydrolysis-catalyst module, while the other levels may be SCR catalyst modules.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
An exhaust emission control system for an exhaust gas of a diesel engine, comprising: an exhaust pipe having a main axis; an exhaust gas inlet pipe aligned along said main axis of said exhaust pipe and connected to said exhaust pipe for receiving an exhaust gas having a flow direction; an injection device disposed in said exhaust pipe for injecting a reducing agent; a mixing device disposed in said exhaust pipe entirely upstream of said injection device, as seen in the flow direction of the exhaust gas; a catalyst device disposed in said exhaust pipe externally to said mixing device; and a further mixing device disposed between said injection device and said catalyst device; said exhaust pipe extending along said main axis upstream of said injection device and extending along said main axis downstream of said injection device; said exhaust pipe having a widened region for receiving said catalyst device and a transitional region adjacent said widened region; and said further mixing device being disposed at said transitional region.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
169 words
An exhaust emission control system for an exhaust gas of a diesel engine, comprising: an exhaust pipe having a main axis; an exhaust gas inlet pipe aligned along said main axis of said exhaust pipe and connected to said exhaust pipe for receiving an exhaust gas having a flow direction; an injection device disposed in said exhaust pipe for injecting a reducing agent; a mixing device disposed in said exhaust pipe entirely upstream of said injection device, as seen in the flow direction of the exhaust gas; a catalyst device disposed in said exhaust pipe externally to said mixing device; and a further mixing device disposed between said injection device and said catalyst device; said exhaust pipe extending along said main axis upstream of said injection device and extending along said main axis downstream of said injection device; said exhaust pipe having a widened region for receiving said catalyst device and a transitional region adjacent said widened region; and said further mixing device being disposed at said transitional region.
