Abstract

The present invention relates to a sliding seat for mounting a thermally impacted pipe on a structural part so as to be axially movable, in particular in an exhaust gas system of a combustion engine, with a bearing material which is radially supported against pipe on the outside thereof and which is fixed on structural part via a retaining pipe fastened on structural part.

Claims (36)

1. An exhaust gas treatment facility for an exhaust gas system of a combustion engine, comprising:

a housing having at least one inlet and at least one outlet;

at least one pipe mounted with a sliding seat on the housing serving as a structural part or mounted on a component part of the housing serving as a structural part, wherein:

a pipe assembly is provided comprising at least two pipes communicating with each other;

a first pipe is fastened on the housing in an entry section of the first pipe, wherein the first pipe contains at least one particle filter element;

the first pipe is fixed with a sliding seat on the housing in an exit section of the first pipe;

a second pipe, the entry of which is connected with an exit of the first pipe, is fixed on the housing with a sliding seat in an entry section of the second pipe;

the second pipe is fastened on the housing in an exit section of the second pipe without a sliding seat such that the exit section of the second pipe is fixedly attached to the housing; and

wherein at least one of the sliding seats comprises a retaining pipe fixedly arranged or formed on the structural part, which retaining pipe coaxially encloses the first or the second pipe, and a bearing material coaxially arranged between the first or the second pipe and the retaining pipe, which the bearing material completely encloses the first or the second pipe in circumferential direction and which is supported radially on the first or the second pipe and radially and axially on the retaining pipe, whereby the housing or a component part of the housing forms the structural part; and

wherein a connecting chamber is provided, into which openly lead the exit of the first pipe and the entry of second pipe such that the first and second pipe each extend through a common wall of the housing and into the connecting chamber.

2. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 1 , wherein the first pipe contains at least one oxidation converter element.

3. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 1 , wherein the first pipe has a radially removable axial section.

4. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 3 , wherein the radially removable axial section contains at least one particle filter element.

5. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 1 , wherein a third pipe is provided the entry of which is communicatively connected with an exit of the second pipe.

6. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 5 , wherein the third pipe contains at least one SCR converter.

7. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 5 , wherein a fourth pipe is provided, an entry of which is communicatively connected with an exit of the third pipe.

8. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 7 , wherein the fourth pipe leads to an outlet.

9. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 1 , wherein a metering facility for introducing a liquid educt is provided.

10. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 9 , wherein the second pipe is used as a mixing section for exhaust gas and introduced educt.

11. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 9 , wherein the metering facility introduces the educt into the entry section of the second pipe.

12. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal centre axes of the first pipe and the second pipe extend in parallel to each other.

13. An exhaust gas treatment facility for an exhaust gas system of a combustion engine, comprising:

a housing having at least one inlet and at least one outlet;

a first pipe is fastened on the housing in an entry section of the first pipe, the first pipe fixed with a sliding seat on the housing in an exit section of the first pipe;

a second pipe, the entry of which is in fluid communication with an exit of the first pipe via a connecting chamber positioned adjacent the housing, wherein the second pipe is fixed on the housing with a sliding seat in an entry section of the second pipe, and the second pipe is fastened on the housing in an exit section of the second pipe without a sliding seat such that the exit section of the second pipe is fixedly attached to the housing; and

wherein at least one of the sliding seats comprises a retaining pipe fixedly arranged or formed on the housing; and

wherein the connecting chamber is formed by one or more shell bodies which are mounted on the exit section of the first pipe, and on the entry section of the second pipe;

wherein both of the sliding seats are fixedly arranged or formed on the housing, and are arranged next to one another, such that the first pipe and the second pipe pass through a common wall of the housing and into the connecting chamber in a parallel arrangement; and

further comprising a metering facility for injecting educt into the connecting chamber.

14. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 13 , wherein the metering facility is arranged to inject educt into the connecting chamber at the entry section of the second pipe.

15. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 13 , wherein the metering facility is arranged to inject educt into the connecting chamber upstream from the entry section of the second pipe.

16. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 13 , wherein the first pipe contains at least one particle filter element.

17. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 13 , wherein the first pipe contains at least one oxidation converter element.

18. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 13 , wherein the first pipe has a radially removable axial section.

19. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 18 , wherein the radially removable axial section contains at least one particle filter element.

20. The exhaust gas treatment facility of claim 13 , wherein the at least one sliding seat that comprises a retaining pipe coaxially encloses the first or the second pipe, and a bearing material is coaxially arranged between the first or the second pipe and the retaining pipe, which the bearing material completely encloses the first or the second pipe in circumferential direction and which is supported radially on the first or the second pipe and radially and axially on the retaining pipe.
