Abstract

An injection valve of a reducing agent metering device is enclosed in a double-walled valve holding element that is connected directly to the exhaust-gas line. It is thereby possible to blow pressurized air into an air gap between an outer wall and an inner wall of the valve holding element and, as a result, to cool at least those parts of the injection valve that are in close vicinity to the exhaust gas.
