The invention relates to a device for purifying exhaust gases, especially motor vehicle exhaust gases, comprising a catalytic converter which contains a gas permeable supporting material and which can be flown through by the exhaust gases. At least one delivery pipe which supplies the exhaust gas, and at least one inlet pipe connected thereto are assigned to said catalytic converter. The inventive device also comprises at least one guide element which is arranged in the delivery pipe and/or inlet pipe and which is provided for affecting the flow of the exhaust gases. The exhaust gas purification device (1) is characterized in that the guide element (13) is constructed in such a way that it does not affect or it only slightly affects the flow of the exhaust gases in the central area thereof, and causes a swirling movement in the radial area surrounding the center. |
