Abstract

A device for reducing particles of an exhaust gas includes at least one carrier structure having a predefinable volume and a plurality of channels which can be traversed by a flow. The channels at least partially have measures for deflecting the exhaust gas within the channels. The at least one carrier structure at least partially has a first coating including a washcoat. A quantity of the washcoat in a range of from 10 to 60 grams is provided per liter of the volume, provided with the first coating, of the carrier structure. An exhaust gas purification system and a vehicle having the device or the system, are also provided.

Claims (17)

1. A device for reducing particles of an exhaust gas, the device comprising:

at least one carrier structure having a predefinable volume;

said at least one carrier structure having a multiplicity of channels to be traversed by an exhaust gas flow flowing in a flow direction, said channels having deflections for the exhaust gas disposed in a repeating fashion with a predefined spacing, said channels at least partially deflecting the exhaust gas within said channels and said at least one carrier structure having at least one filter layer with a filter material, said filter material being delimited in the flow direction by a metal strip having a plurality of perforations formed therein; and

said at least one carrier structure having a length of at least 120 mm in the flow direction and at least partially having a first coating including a quantity of washcoat in a range of from 10 to 60 grams per liter of said predefinable volume having said first coating.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said first coating has a quantity of at least one noble metal in a range of from 0.35 to 3.53 grams per liter of said predefinable volume having said first coating.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one carrier structure at least partially includes structured metal foils.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one carrier structure at least partially includes metal foils with perforations.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one carrier structure has at least one first partial region and at least one second partial region, at least one of said partial regions having a coating.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one carrier structure has at least one first partial region with said first coating and at least one second partial region with a second coating.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one carrier structure has at least one first partial region with at least one filter layer and at least one filterless second partial region, said at least one first partial region being disposed downstream of said at least one second partial region in a flow direction.

8. The device according to claim 1 , which further comprises a device for at least partially deflecting the exhaust gas within said channels.

9. An exhaust gas purification system for a mobile internal combustion engine, the system comprising:

at least one converter at least for oxidizing nitrogen monoxide contained in the exhaust gas to form nitrogen dioxide; and

at least one device according to claim 1 disposed downstream of said at least one converter in a flow direction of the exhaust gas.

10. The exhaust gas purification system according to claim 9 , which further comprises a turbocharger, said converter being disposed between the internal combustion engine and said turbocharger.

11. A vehicle, comprising at least one device according to claim 1 .

12. A vehicle, comprising at least one exhaust gas purification system according to claim 9 .
