Abstract
The apparatus for burning the contaminated soot particles in the exhaust gases of diesel motors of vehicles comprising in the exhaust gas line a housing with a burner operated with a fuel/air mixture for burning the contaminated particles in the exhaust gas flow. The housing comprises a rotatably supported hollow cylinder through which the exhaust gases flow. The housing and the hollow cylinder bound the combustion space of the burner, wherein the hollow cylinder comprises drive vanes and the exhaust gases of the diesel motor and/or the exhaust gases of the burner act upon the drive vanes and wherein the exhaust gases of the burner heat the hollow cylinder up to the combustion temperature of the soot particles. The arrangement can be also made in such a way, that the exhaust gases and/or the combustion gases of the burner flow through bores into the perforated hollow cylinder and exit through the one open end face of the perforated hollow cylinder.
