Abstract

In an exhaust system for a motor vehicle having an exhaust treatment device for after-treating exhaust gas of a combustion engine of the motor vehicle, the exhaust gas treatment device includes a first SCR catalyst, which has a zeolite material containing copper, an ammonia slip catalyst, which is arranged downstream of the first SCR catalyst, and a particulate filter. A second SCR catalyst, which has an SCR catalyst material containing vanadium, is arranged upstream of the first SCR catalyst.

Claims (14)

1. An exhaust system for a motor vehicle, including an exhaust gas treatment device for after-treating exhaust gas of a combustion engine of the motor vehicle, the exhaust gas treatment device comprising:

a first SCR catalyst, which has a zeolite material containing copper,

a second SCR catalyst, arranged upstream of the first SCR catalyst, which has an SCR material containing vanadium,

an ammonia slip catalyst, arranged downstream of both the first SCR catalyst and the second SCR catalyst,

a particulate filter arranged downstream of the first SCR catalyst, the ammonia slip catalyst, and the second SCR catalyst,

an oxidation catalyst, arranged downstream of the ammonia slip catalyst and upstream of the particulate filter, and

a layer of zeolite material containing copper applied onto surfaces of the oxidation catalyst and the ammonia slip catalyst having at least one noble metal,

the second SCR catalyst being applied onto a first carrier body separate from a second carrier body onto which the ammonia slip catalyst and the oxidation catalyst are applied.

2. The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein a section of the exhaust system between the second SCR catalyst and the first SCR catalyst and/or between the first SCR catalyst and the ammonia slip catalyst is free from a further catalyst.

3. The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein an output side of the first SCR catalyst is adjacent to an input side of the ammonia slip catalyst, and an input side of the first SCR catalyst is adjacent to an output side of the second SCR catalyst.

4. The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein downstream section of the oxidation catalyst is free from the layer of zeolite material.

5. The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein a noble metal content of the ammonia slip catalyst is smaller than a noble metal content of the oxidation catalyst.

6. The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein the first SCR catalyst is applied onto the second carrier body.

7. The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein fuel is introduced into the exhaust gas to be fed into the second SCR catalyst upstream of the second SCR catalyst, or a third SCR catalyst is arranged downstream of the particulate filter.
