A flow guide and a method therein, including dividing by a divider a mixing chamber to input and output sides; supporting a mixing tube in the mixing chamber, receiving exhaust gas by an intake section from the input side; guiding the received exhaust gas by a swirl guide to flow inside the mixing tube towards the second end as a rotating and advancing main flow; mounting a reactant doser by a reactant doser mount such that when in use, it provides reactant to a dosing section; guiding exhaust gas through the divider by the mixing tube; receiving at least most of the rotating and advancing exhaust gas flow by the dosing section; providing a stem guide around the doser when mounted facing the rotating flow, and defining by the stem guide a central opening surrounding the doser when mounted; and guiding, using a passage structure of the stem guide, a side flow out of the rotating flow to a carrier flow around the doser via the central opening.

Exhaust gas aftertreatment mixer

A mixer and a method therein, including feeding a rotating flow of exhaust gas in a mixing pipe towards a turning end of a mixing chamber; dosing reactant by a doser against the rotating flow around a centreline of the mixing pipe; maintaining a guide around the doser such that a front face of the guide faces the rotating flow, and the guide defines a central opening surrounding the doser; guiding a side flow out of the rotating flow to a carrier flow around the doser via the central opening; and inhibiting by the guide turbulence from being transferred from the side flow to the carrier flow.
