EXHAUST GAS PATH FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE HAVING SUCH AN EXHAUST GAS PATH AND METHOD FOR AGGLOMERATING SOOT PARTICLES IN THE EXHAUST GAS OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to an exhaust gas path (3) for an internal combustion engine (1), having an exhaust gas turbine (5), a first line section (7) which is arranged upstream of the exhaust gas turbine (5) and is fluidically connected to the exhaust gas turbine (5), and having a second line section (9) which leads out from the first line section (7) at an exit point (11) and, viewed in the direction of an exhaust gas flow through the first line section (7), enters the first line section (7) at an entry point (13) upstream of the exit point (11), wherein the second line section (9) is designed to divert a portion of exhaust gas flowing along the first line section (7) at the exit point (11) and conduct it back to the entry point (13), and at least one exhaust gas flow delay device (15), which is designed to delay the exhaust gas flow flowing along the first and/or second line section (7, 9), is arranged in the first line section (7) and/or in the second line section (9). The invention further relates to a method for agglomerating soot particles in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine.
