An exhaust aftertreatment arrangement for cleaning exhaust gases includes a fluid channel for providing a fluid pathway for the exhaust gases, a selective catalyst reduction, SCR, catalyst, arranged in or downstream the fluid channel, a heating arrangement for heating the exhaust gases, the heating arrangement being arranged upstream of the SCR catalyst and comprising an electrical heating element, a first fluid pathway for guiding the exhaust gases to the electrical heating element, and a second fluid pathway for guiding the exhaust gases to bypass the electrical heating element, wherein the heating arrangement is removably arranged relative the fluid channel.

A device includes an exhaust gas turbocharger and an annular catalytic converter, which is mounted downstream of the turbocharger in the flow direction, wherein the annular catalytic converter has a first tubular flow section, a deflecting region, and a second annular flow section, wherein the tubular flow section is formed by an inner tube, and the annular flow section is formed between an outer tube, running substantially parallel to the inner tube, and the inner tube, and the deflecting region is designed to deflect the exhaust gas flow out of the tubular flow section into the annular flow section, wherein the tubular flow section of the annular catalytic converter comprises the same components as the gas outlet of the turbocharger mounted upstream in the flow direction.

A dosing and mixing assembly for an exhaust aftertreatment device includes a conduit arrangement defining overlapping, coaxial flow paths that join at a common flow path. The conduit arrangement defines a mixing region upstream of the overlapping, coaxial flow paths, an impact region at the overlapping, coaxial flow paths, and a merge region where the coaxial flow paths join. The outer of the coaxial flow paths insulates the inner of the flow paths at least as the impact region. Reactant can be dispensed into the inner flow path along a spray path that intersects the impact region of the conduit arrangement. A spray protector can be provided at or upstream of the mixer to inhibit swirling of reactant at the doser nozzle.

A method for manufacturing a vehicle muffler includes: forming a tubular body (6; 91, 92) from a nonwoven fabric (2; 2A, 2B) composed of inorganic fibers (11) each being in a filament form; inserting and installing the tubular body (6) as a sound-absorbing material into a space (S) between an inner pipe (72; 81) and an outer pipe (71; 821, 822) of an inner-outer double pipe constituting a vehicle muffler. The tubular body (6) may be obtained by applying a binder (3) to one surface (2a) of the nonwoven fabric (2), then rolling the nonwoven fabric (2) into a tubular shape with the surface (2a) having the binder (3) applied thereto facing inward, infiltrating additional binder (3) into an outer peripheral surface of the tubular-shaped nonwoven fabric (2), and then heating the tubular-shaped nonwoven fabric (2) to a predetermined temperature to harden the binder (3).

In an exhaust gas processing device, an air-fuel ratio sensor is provided such that a measuring portion is located in a region surrounded by a downstream-side end surface of a TWC, an upstream-side end surface of a GPF, and an inner wall surface of a case against which the exhaust gas G that has passed through the TWC flows, that is the region a region on the GPF side of the center of the TWC.

A decomposition chamber for an aftertreatment system includes: a body comprising: an inlet configured to receive exhaust gas, an outlet configured to expel the exhaust gas, a thermal management chamber in fluid communication with the inlet, the thermal management chamber configured to receive an exhaust gas first portion from the inlet, an exhaust assist chamber in fluid communication with the inlet, the exhaust assist chamber configured to receive an exhaust gas second portion from the inlet, and a main flow chamber in fluid communication with the inlet, the main flow chamber configured to receive an exhaust gas third portion from the inlet, receive the exhaust gas first portion from the thermal management chamber, and receive the exhaust gas second portion from the exhaust assist chamber.
