The invention relates to a device for post-treatment of exhaust gases of a lean burning internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel internal combustion engine, with an exhaust gas channel in which downstream of a reducing agent metering device there is a catalytic converter for selective catalytic reduction as an SCR catalytic converter. According to the invention, the exhaust gas channel section which, viewed in the exhaust gas flow direction, extends between the reducing agent metering device and the SCR catalytic converter, is made as a preferably air gap-insulated exhaust gas channel section.

A tractor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, a hood that covers an engine, and an exhaust gas treatment unit. The exhaust gas treatment unit is placed laterally outside right or left side of the hood and behind the front wheel, and purifies exhaust gas from the engine. A circular cylindrical heat shielding plate covers an outer circumferential surface of the exhaust gas treatment unit. A plurality of vent holes are formed in a rear surface of the heat shielding plate, and are not formed in a region that lies on a front surface of the heat shielding plate and faces the front wheel.

An injector tube assembly that includes thin foil insulation around a receiver tube and a relatively rigid housing secured to the thin foil and bearing on tube insulation while also being packed with junction insulation.

An exhaust gas treatment device, which includes an outer layer, an inner layer that is at least in part disposed within the outer layer, and a loose-fill insulation disposed in the volume between the outer layer and the inner layer, where a piece of fiber mat is disposed between the outer layer and the inner layer and forms a barrier that at least partially prevents the loss of the loose-fill insulation from the volume between the outer layer and the inner layer and a manufacturing method that includes placing a loose-fill insulation into the volume of space between an inner layer and an outer layer and positioning a piece of fiber mat between the outer layer and the inner layer to form a barrier that at least partially prevents the loss of the loose-fill insulation from the volume of space between the outer and inner layers.

An exhaust gas purification system for diesel engines of utility motor vehicles, includes an oxidation catalytic converter disposed in an exhaust tract, a reducing agent dosing device having a reducing agent injection device, a reducing agent decomposition device, a soot particle separator, a reduction catalytic converter and a muffler for the exhaust gases. The oxidation catalytic converter is disposed within a minimum distance directly downstream of outlet valves of the engine and a maximum distance of 0.75 m from an exhaust collecting pipe or an outlet of a turbocharger. The reducing agent decomposition device, the soot particle separator and the reduction catalytic converter are disposed separately from the oxidation catalytic converter.

An exhaust system is disclosed for a use with an engine. The exhaust system may have a plurality of manifold sections, each being connected to an adjacent one of the plurality of manifold sections and thereby forming an exhaust manifold. The exhaust system may also have a plurality of elbow-shaped coolant adapters, each being configured to connect a corresponding one of the plurality of manifold sections to a corresponding cylinder head of the engine and having a coolant jacket formed therein. The exhaust system may further have a heat shield formed around the exhaust manifold.
