Abstract
Apparatus for collecting soot from soot-laden exhaust gases flowing in an exhaust gas line of an air-compressing compression ignition engine comprises a housing adapted to be incorporated in said exhaust gas line and to be flown through by said soot-laden exhaust gases; baffle walls contained in said housing and arranged to repeatedly deflect the exhaust gases flowing through said housing and to cause soot to be separated from said exhaust gases and to deposit at least in part on said baffle walls; and an accumulating container disposed under said baffle walls and arranged to receive soot which has been separated from said exhaust gases at said baffle walls. Said apparatus is designed to permit soot deposited on at least part of baffle walls to be removed therefrom and to fall into said accumulating container. Said container is designed to permit soot accumulated in said container to be removed from said apparatus.
