• FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the arrangement 1, whereby also in this case according to FIG. 2 the ionization device and the agglomeration device are not shown.
• the exhaust stream 2 enters the channel 8 via the inlet 10, which is arranged on the first end face 11 of the channel 8, and is deflected at least for the most part via the radial honeycomb body 14.
• at least one heat exchanger 36 is provided, in particular with a first heating circuit 37, which is arranged outside the outer peripheral surface 16 of the radial honeycomb body 14.
• an optionally connected to the first heating circuit 37 second heating circuit 38 is provided, which is in particular carried out independently of this.
• This second heating circuit 38 may also be provided independently of the first heating circuit 37. It extends within the radial honeycomb body 14 and is arranged in particular transversely to the flow channels 17 of the radial honeycomb body 14.
• a particularly small part of the exhaust stream 2 flows through the channel 8 completely and is transferred via an outlet 12 of the channel 8 in the Pumbleabscheider 18, which is arranged behind an outlet 12 of the channel 8 at a second end face 13 of the channel 8.
• a third heating circuit 39 is provided, which can remove heat from the particle separator 18, which is generated in particular by continuous regeneration but also by thermal regeneration within the particle separator 18.
• the heating circuits 37, 38, 39 may have thermoelectric elements, so that a conversion of the thermal energy of the exhaust gas into electrical energy is made possible.
• the thermoelectric elements may be provided inside or outside the assembly 1. 4 shows a further embodiment of the arrangement 1, wherein here an internal combustion engine 3 of a motor vehicle 41 is provided, to which a part of the exhaust gas flow 2 is supplied via an EGR line 26.
• an exhaust gas flow 2 from the internal combustion engine 3 flows through a particularly provided first oxidation catalytic converter 32, which is suitable for converting carbon-hydrogen compounds present in the exhaust gas flow 2 and carbon monoxide.
• a reducing agent addition unit 33 for adding a reducing agent into the exhaust gas flow 2 is arranged, wherein the reducing agent is preferably applied to the downstream side of the first oxidation catalytic converter 32.
• the exhaust gas stream 2 is then transferred into the channel 8 and passed from there via the radial honeycomb body 14 or via the P
• the exhaust gas stream 2 which is discharged via the Péroabscheider 18, fed through an EGR line 26 of the internal combustion engine 3 again.
• the exhaust gas stream 2, which flows off via the radial honeycomb body 14, is fed to an exhaust gas line 34, which optionally has a second oxidation catalyst 35, which is designed here as a barrier catalyst, so that the reducing agent is not released into the environment.
• the invention therefore relates in particular to an arrangement for cleaning an exhaust gas stream of a mobile internal combustion engine, which comprises at least one
