Abstract:
A method for causing exhaust gas flow to flow at least 270 degrees in a first direction about a perforated tube using a baffle plate having a main body with a plurality of flow-through openings and a plurality of louvers positioned adjacent to the flow-through openings. The method includes deflecting a first portion of the exhaust gas flow with the main body of the baffle plate. The method also includes allowing a second portion of the exhaust gas flow to flow through the flow-through openings of the baffle plate. The method also deflects the second portion of the exhaust gas flow at a downstream side of the main body with the louvers hereby causing the second portion of the exhaust gas flow to flow in the first direction about the perforated tube.

Claim (Index 19):
A dosing and mixing arrangement for treating exhaust flow, the dosing and mixing arrangement comprising:\n a main body extending along a length between first and second opposite ends of the main body, the main body defining a longitudinal axis extending between the first and second ends, the main body also defining an interior; a conduit defining a passage that extends transverse to the longitudinal axis of the main body, the conduit defining a plurality of openings over a circumference of the conduit, the openings each extending between an exterior of the conduit and an interior of the conduit; and a baffle arrangement disposed within the main body, the baffle arrangement including a first curved surface that directs a first portion of the exhaust flow in a first direction around the conduit beginning at a first side of the conduit, the baffle arrangement including a second curved surface that directs a second portion of the exhaust flow in the first direction around the conduit beginning at a second side of the conduit, the second side being spaced circumferentially along the conduit from the first side.
