Abstract

For an exhaust system with a particle filter (12) and a regeneration burner (13) a burner with a flame tube (30) is provided, the hot gas outlet of which is provided in the form of a plurality of openings (34), which are arranged in one or more planes (35), which lie parallel to the inlet face (20) of the particle filter (12). Owing to the division into a plurality of secondary hot gas flows (37), mixing with the exhaust gases (40) is improved in such a way that immediately after the flame tube (30) a practically uniform temperature prevails, as a result of which the particle filter can be arranged very close to the burner (13). <IMAGE>
