An exhaust system for a combustion engine of a motor vehicle comprises a support plate on which at least one exhaust line or at least one exhaust silencer is provided. The support plate is made of a plastic material. A motor vehicle comprises a combustion engine and an exhaust system which is arranged in an underfloor tunnel of the motor vehicle.

Exhaust system for a combustion engine of a motor vehicle and motor vehicle

A valve actuating device, in particular for an exhaust system, comprises a disk assembly, an actuating arm, and a valve actuator wherein the disk assembly is arranged between the actuating arm and the valve actuator. The disk assembly, at least in part, thermally decouples the actuating arm from the valve actuator and includes at least two identically constructed disks with axial protrusions, which in an axial direction are directly arranged one behind the other and contact each other at the protrusions.

Valve actuating thermal disk assembly

A thermoelectric generator unit, in particular for coupling to an exhaust gas pipe of an internal combustion engine, comprises at least one inner tube () having gas flowing therein and whose outer circumference comprises at least one flat portion (). An oval outer housing () completely surrounds the inner tube () in circumferential direction. A plurality of thermoelectric modules () are arranged on the flat portions () of the inner tube (). At least one cooling element () is provided which comprises a flat side on which the thermoelectric modules () are arranged. The assembly unit made up of inner tube (), thermoelectric modules () and cooling element () is surrounded by an elastic compensation element () which rests on the inner side of the outer housing () and is retained in the outer housing () by means of clamping.
