Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an arrangement and method for controlling the temperature of exhaust gas from a combustion engine prior to providing the exhaust gas to an exhaust aftertreatment system for cleaning. Background technique
[0002] Current emission control regulations for automobiles will typically require the use of exhaust aftertreatment systems (EATS) that include various emission cleaning units. Therefore, most modern automobiles, at least heavy duty vehicles, utilize EATS to clean the exhaust of the vehicle engine. Emission cleaning units of EATS may be, for example, various catalysts capable of converting carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced during vehicle engine operation. Other emission cleaning units may be various filters, such as particulate filters designed to remove certain substances or soot, etc., from exhaust gas or the like.
[0003] Vehicles equipped with diesel engines offer the b...
