Abstract

A vehicle emission control system is configured to operatively receive exhaust gas from a combustion engine and includes an exhaust gas after treatment system (EATS) configured to operatively clean the received exhaust gas, a burner unit configured to operatively heat the received exhaust gas to a predetermined temperature before the exhaust gas is provided to the EATS, and a pump unit configured to operatively provide the burner unit with air to be used b the burner unit in a heating process. The pump unit is configured to be operatively propelled by exhaust gas, and the burner unit is arranged upstream the pump unit such that exhaust gas from the burner unit is operatively provided to the pump unit for propelling the pump unit.

Description

[0001] The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 375,774, filed Feb. 27, 2012, which is the U.S. national stage of PCT / SE2010 / 000150, filed Jun. 2, 2010, which claims priority to SE 0900751-9, filed Jun. 2, 2009.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY

[0002] The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for controlling the temperature of the exhaust gas from a combustion engine before the exhaust gas is provided to an exhaust gas after treatment system for cleaning.

[0003] Current emission control regulations for automotive vehicles will non ally require the use of an Exhaust gas After Treatment System (EATS) comprising various emission cleaning units. Thus, most modern automotive vehicles, at least heavy vehicles, use an EATS to clean the exhaust gas from the vehicle engine. The emission cleaning units of the EATS may e.g. be various catalysts which may convert carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced during the operation ...
