MIXING DEVICE

A mixing device for integrating into an exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine and for intermixing an exhaust gas flow T, which device is formed by a housing including a pipe wall for guiding the exhaust gas in a main flow direction H, an intermediate wall which at least partially delimits a flow cross section Qs of the housing, and by a mixing pipe, wherein: the mixing pipe has an injection nozzle for an additive to be incorporated, the nozzle being in the region of a first end E1 of the mixing pipe, and the mixing pipe is accommodated, in the region of a second end E2, in the intermediate wall; a perforation zone having a through-flow cross section Qp is provided at least between the injection nozzle and the intermediate wall; the intermediate wall and the mixing pipe 5 separate the housing into an inflow sector and an outflow sector; at least 90% of the gas to be guided from the inflow sector to the outflow sector can be directed through the perforation zone; a wedge-shaped flow-directing element having a directing nose is provided after the mixing pipe, which nose protrudes beyond the pipe wall and/or the intermediate wall and by means of which the exhaust gas flow T can be divided into two partial flows T1, T2; and wherein the partial flows T1, T2 can be brought into a counter swirl flow in relation to the main flow direction H.
