An exhaust gas treatment device for arranging in an exhaust gas section of a motor vehicle that includes a heating disk which is assigned to an exhaust gas aftertreatment component. The heating disk is configured by way of a flat heating element and a holder which is coupled to the former. The holder extends over the cross-sectional area of the heating element, and the holder itself is of disk-shaped configuration. The inner face of the heating disk is configured by way of arcuate spokes which are coupled irregularly to one another.

An exhaust gas heating assembly for an exhaust gas system of a combustion engine includes a heating unit housing which accommodates a flow of exhaust gas. A plurality of heating units are disposed in the heating unit housing and are elongate in the direction of a heating unit longitudinal axis (H). Each heating unit has first and second heating unit longitudinal end regions. The heating units with the first heating unit longitudinal end regions and the second heating unit longitudinal end regions are supported in relation to the heating unit housing via a support structure. At least one heating unit by way of the first heating unit longitudinal end region thereof or/and the second heating unit longitudinal end region thereof is supported on the support structure so as to be movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis (H).

The electric dust collecting apparatus comprises a plurality of discharge electrodes that are disposed in an exhaust flow passage, a ground electrode that constitutes at least a part of an inner wall surface of the exhaust flow passage, and a voltage applying device that is configured to apply voltage selectively from a common power supply to each of the plurality of discharge electrodes. The plurality of discharge regions, each of which includes at least one discharge electrode, are provided in the exhaust flow passage and an electrode-to-electrode distance between the discharge electrode and the ground electrode is different in each of the plurality of discharge regions. The voltage applying device applies voltage to the discharge electrode for each discharge region, and changes the discharge region where voltage is applied to the discharge electrode in accordance with exhaust gas temperature.

A system includes an aftertreatment system coupled to an engine, a heater, at least one sensor configured to determine an exhaust gas temperature, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is structured to determine whether the exhaust gas temperature is at or below a predefined threshold temperature; provide a first command to control the heater in response to the exhaust gas temperature being at or below the predefined threshold temperature; selectively provide a second command to increase the exhaust gas temperature; and coordinate the first and second commands, where the first command is provided followed by the second command only if the predefined threshold temperature is not attained by the first command.

A transfer module for transferring power to a non-thermal plasma generator includes a power cable; a first epoxy; a second epoxy; an interface between the first epoxy and the second epoxy; and a well; the power cable including a conductor for conducting electrical power and an insulation layer for surrounding a portion of the conductor; the first epoxy being located within the well to surround the insulation layer; the second epoxy being located within the well to surround the conductor located within the well; the second epoxy being located outside the well to surround the conductor located outside the well.

An electric gas flow heater has a grid-like heating element through which exhaust gas can flow axially, and which forms an electrical resistance heating. The grid-like heating element includes radially successive layers of band-like material, wherein the layers, in an axial view of the heating element, are bent in an undulating manner and include valleys and peaks. The layers that are located between the radially outermost layer and the radially innermost layer are attached by their peaks and valleys to the respectively radially adjacent layer, so that flow-through openings are formed between the layers. The wavelengths of the layers are increasing radially outwards.

A system includes an aftertreatment system having a catalyst, a heater, at least one sensor configured to determine an exhaust gas temperature, and a controller. The controller is structured to determine whether the exhaust gas temperature is at or below a predefined threshold temperature, provide a first command to start and control the heater in response to the exhaust gas temperature being at or below the predefined threshold temperature, modulate control of the heater as a function of the predefined threshold temperature and an actual temperature, and selectively provide a second command for a close post injection based on the exhaust gas temperature. The controller is further structured to coordinate the first and second commands using a chaining sequence, wherein the first command is provided followed by the second command only if the predefined threshold temperature is not attained by the first command.
