A component of an exhaust gas system and a method for exhaust gas after-treatment having a housing with an inlet and an outlet for an exhaust gas, an annular heat exchanger through which the exhaust gas can flow from the inlet in an axial direction and along a first flow path. Downstream of the heat exchanger, an annular catalyst body is arranged inside the heat exchanger and through which the exhaust gas can flow in a radial direction, such that, downstream of the catalyst body, the exhaust gas flows through the heat exchanger in the radial direction and along a second flow path.

A method for producing a delivery module having an electric PTC heater, for installation into a tank for storing a liquid additive, includes: a) fixing a maximum electrical power that is made available to the delivery module; b) determining a thermal conductivity of the delivery module from a location of the electric PTC heater into the tank; c) calculating a switching temperature of the PTC heater based on the maximum electrical power and the thermal conductivity; and d) mounting a PTC material with a corresponding switching temperature for the PTC heater at the location.
