Zusammenfassung:A mixer assembly includes an outer housing having an inlet area that receives exhaust gas from an upstream exhaust component and an outlet area that directs exhaust gas to a downstream exhaust component. The outer housing includes an outer wall extending outwardly from the base wall about a periphery of the base wall and a deflector wall that directs exhaust gas from the inlet area to the outlet area. The deflector wall has a portion spaced from the outer wall to define a flow guide path that first directs exhaust gas flow from the inlet area in a first direction against a first portion of the outer wall and then directs exhaust gas flow in a second direction against a second portion of the outer wall that is transverse to the first portion.
