Abstract
An apparatus for post-treating exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, in particular a Diesel engine, having a reduction catalytic converter serving to reduce NOingredients of the exhaust gases, to which reduction catalytic converter an exhaust pipe leads, and having a reducing agent supply device and a device that generates a pressure difference in the exhaust gas. In the apparatus, the supply of reducing agent is effected via a bypass line, which carries a portion of the exhaust gases past the device that generates the pressure difference in the exhaust gas. The apparatus can use either ammonia or a water and urea solution, or hydrocarbons of the fuel as well as CO as a reducing agent.
