The invention relates to an exhaust aftertreatment arrangement (100) for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, said exhaust aftertreatment arrangement (100) comprising a fluid passage (30) for exhaust gases from said exhaust system, said fluid passage (30) defining an inner perimeter (32) and an exhaust aftertreatment unit (40) comprising an exhaust aftertreatment element (42) confined by an outer wall (44) defining an outer periphery (46) of the exhaust aftertreatment unit (40), the exhaust aftertreatment unit (40) being sealingly arranged in said fluid passage (30) for enabling flow of said exhaust gases through said exhaust aftertreatment element (42). A leakage treatment member (50) comprising an exhaust aftertreatment component is arranged between said inner perimeter (32) of the fluid passage (30) and said outer periphery (46) of said outer wall (44) of the exhaust aftertreatment unit (40), for aftertreatment of any leakage of said flow of exhaust gases past said aftertreatment unit (40) in said fluid passage (30).

An exhaust after-treatment system for treating an exhaust produced by an engine. The exhaust after-treatment system includes an exhaust passage, at least one catalytic exhaust after-treatment component in communication with the exhaust passage for treating the exhaust, and a water-removal device in communication with the exhaust passage that receives a portion of the exhaust therein at a location positioned upstream from the catalytic exhaust after-treatment component. The water-removal device is defined by a housing that includes a water-removal membrane that separates water from the portion of the exhaust to provide a permeate that is enriched with water, and to produce a retentate that is water depleted that facilitates the treating of the exhaust by the catalytic exhaust after-treatment component.

A support ring (36) for an exhaust gas duct system, especially of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, comprises a support element body (40) with a plurality of body segments (46, 48) and with a support arrangement (42) connecting the body segments (46, 48) to one another.

The invention relates to an exhaust aftertreatment arrangement (100) for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, said exhaust aftertreatment arrangement (100) comprising a fluid passage (30) for exhaust gases from said exhaust system, said fluid passage (30) defining an inner perimeter (32) and an exhaust aftertreatment unit (40) comprising an exhaust aftertreatment element (42) confined by an outer wall (44) defining an outer periphery (46) of the exhaust aftertreatment unit (40), the exhaust aftertreatment unit (40) being sealingly arranged in said fluid passage (30) for enabling flow of said exhaust gases through said exhaust aftertreatment element (42). A leakage treatment member (50) comprising an exhaust aftertreatment component is arranged between said inner perimeter (32) of the fluid passage (30) and said outer periphery (46) of said outer wall (44) of the exhaust aftertreatment unit (40), for aftertreatment of any leakage of said flow of exhaust gases past said aftertreatment unit (40) in said fluid passage (30).

A particulate filter for an exhaust system includes a housing having an exhaust inlet and an exhaust outlet. Arranged in the housing is a porous filter body which has a closed casing and plural flow passages extending in parallel relationship. The filter body defines a longitudinal center axis and has a conical configuration in relation to the longitudinal center axis, with each of the flow passages defining a longitudinal center axis which extends in parallel relationship to the longitudinal center axis of the filter body.

A support assembly supports an exhaust gas treatment element of an exhaust gas treatment unit for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine. A carrying body is secured on a housing of an exhaust gas treatment unit and surrounds an assembly center axis as a ring or annulus. At least one flexible supporting element is carried on the carrying body. The supporting element has an exhaust gas treatment element supporting side for supporting interaction with an exhaust gas treatment element. The carrying body has a radial limb at least partially engaging radially over the supporting element on a carrying body supporting side facing away from the exhaust gas treatment element supporting side. The supporting element is supported by the carrying body supporting side thereof on the radial limb so as to be shiftable radially inward with respect to the carrying body.

The invention relates to a leakage treatment member (50) and an exhaust aftertreatment unit (40) configured to be sealingly arranged in a fluid passage (30) of an exhaust aftertreatment system for treating exhaust from an internal combustion engine, said exhaust aftertreatment unit (40) comprising an exhaust aftertreatment element (42) confined by an outer wall (44) of said exhaust aftertreatment unit, said leakage treatment member being configured to be arranged between:—an inner perimeter (32) of the fluid passage of the exhaust aftertreatment system, and—the outer wall of the exhaust aftertreatment unit, the leakage treatment member comprising an exhaust aftertreatment component for aftertreatment of any leakage of exhaust gases past said aftertreatment unit in said fluid passage.
