Abstract

A vehicle exhaust system includes an injector assembly having an injector mount configured to mount an injector to an exhaust component. The injector mount includes a spray opening surrounding a spray axis. An injector housing extends from an inlet end that receives exhaust gases to an outlet end. The inlet end defines a planar area that is transverse to the spray axis. A spray protector extends axially from the injector mount to break the planar area. A vehicle exhaust component assembly comprising a mixer with the injector assembly and a method for injecting a fluid into an exhaust component using the injector assembly are also disclosed.
