DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE PURIFICATION OF EXHAUST GAS IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for the purification of exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine, especially a diesel engine. Said type of device for the purification of waste gas comprises a waste gas pipe (7) which leads away from the internal combustion engine (1) and also an ozone source (5) for enriching the flow of waste gas in the internal combustion engine with ozone. The ozone source (5) is embodied in such a manner that a continuous gas flow containing ozone is produced, such that particles flowing in the exhaust gas pipe (7) are, to a large extent, oxidised and, as a result, the exhaust gas pipe (7) can be maintained without the need for particle filters.
