DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING AND ELIMINATING AGGLOMERATED PARTICLES EMANATING FROM A MOTOR VEHICLE PARTICLE FILTER

摘要

The invention relates to a device for capturing and eliminating agglomerated particles emanating from a particle agglomerator for the treatment of exhaust gases from a motor vehicle internal combustion engine, comprising an enclosure (29) having a wall which internally defines a duct (30) for the exhaust gases that is connected downstream to the particle agglomerator and upstream to an exhaust gas discharge pipe (C), an internal axial electrode (32) designed to create a radial electric field in the duct, and a set of annular plates (31) arranged transversely in the duct to arrest the agglomerator particles deflected by the electric field. The radially external peripheral edge of the annular plates (31) is spaced from the wall of the enclosure so as to form a space (41) which constitutes a passage for the stopped agglomerated particles or a storage volume.
