Abstract

Device for microwave elimination of particles contained in the exhaust gases of diesel engines in which a microwave (.lambda.) source (6) and a conductor (5) of the electromagnetic field generated by the source is joined with a resonator (2 or 3) mounted on an element of the pipe (12) for the exhaust gases which contains an insert, characterized by the fact that the insert consists of a filter (13) whose upstream and downstream ends are offset toward the inside of the cavity defined by the resonator and delimit two chambers (14, 15) in which conductors (4) of the electromagnetic field come out, respectively.
