Abstract
A particle separator and method for removing particles from an exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine. Differing flow regions having different flow conditions are formed in the particle separator. The differing flow regions are configured such that essentially particles having different, defined sizes and/or masses are adapted to be separated out of the exhaust gas stream in the differing flow regions. The exhaust gas stream is adapted to flow through at least portions of the particle separator.
