Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for introducing a liquid into a gas flow, more preferably for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine. The device includes a chamber, an injection device and a channel. The channel with a circumferential region of an inlet section protrudes into the chamber and there on an inner side facing the gas flow has a surface. Said surface is arranged offset to the inside with respect to a channel profile. The proposed design results in improved evaporation of the liquid introduced into the gas flow.
