Abstract

Exhaust gas aftertreatment units are provided. The units have an encapsulated design that is constructed in a modular manner from disk-shaped components. Exhaust gas flow occurs in the direction of a disk plane, wherein the components are surrounded by frames that are consecutively, in particular elastically, connected and clamped to each other transverse to the disk plane.
