Abstract
An exhaust gas line section, through which an exhaust gas can flow, includes a flow guiding structure, a feed unit configured to supply a liquid additive to the exhaust gas, and a permeable impingement structure, the flow guiding structure, the feed unit, and the permeable impingement structure being positioned one behind the other in the flow direction. The feed unit and the flow guiding structure are arranged and configured such that an impingement region of the liquid additive on the impingement structure overlaps the center of gravity of a flow distribution of the exhaust gas flowing through the impingement structure.

1-11. (canceled)
An exhaust gas line section (1) through which an exhaust gas flows along a throughflow direction (2), comprising:
- a flow guiding structure (3);
- a metering unit (4) configured to feed a liquid additive to the exhaust gas;
- and
- an impingement structure (5) through which exhaust gas flow can pass, the flow guiding structure (3), the metering unit (4) and the impingement structure (5) being arranged behind one another along the throughflow direction (2),
- wherein the metering unit (4) and the flow guiding structure (3) are arranged and configured such that an impingement region (6) of the liquid additive on the impingement structure (5) overlaps with a centroid (38) of a flow distribution (7) of the exhaust gas that flows through the impingement structure (5).
