Patent ID: 8272777

Claim:
A deflection element for arrangement in an exhaust gas pipe of an exhaust gas system which guides an exhaust gas flow, and for retaining a fluid which is injected by means of an injection device into the exhaust gas system, wherein the deflection element can be positioned in a direction of flow (S) before a static mixer with at least one mixing element and comprises at least one sheet metal part which can be positioned in the exhaust gas flow, wherein the sheet metal part is raised at least partially with reference to the direction of flow (S) at an angle sv in a direction of distribution (V), as a result of which the exhaust gas flow is diverted with the fluid at least partially from the direction of flow (S) into the direction of distribution (V), wherein a fin which is raised at an angle sv is formed on the sheet metal part, wherein the deflection element comprises one or several correction plates which are arranged parallel to the direction of flow (S) or parallel to the sheet metal part, and wherein the sheet metal part protrudes with reference to the opposite direction of flow (S) beyond all correction plates and the metal sheet part is arranged with reference to a central direction of injection (E) behind the last correction plate.
