Abstract

See full text

An arrangement is provided for an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine including a fuel burner located upstream of a diesel particulate filter, and a selective catalytic conversion unit. The arrangement includes a turbine connected to an energy recovering arrangement interposed on the engine exhaust line between the diesel particulate filter and the SCR unit. It is possible to convert into useful work the thermal energy liberated by the filter regeneration which, in a conventional exhaust line is wasted, Further, the turbine has the further effect of lowering the temperature entering the SCR unit which, in a conventional exhaust line, is fed with high temperature exhaust gas that has a detrimental effect on the life span of the SCR unit.
