According to the invention, a static mixer (1) comprises a plurality of deflection elements (18), which are arranged in a flow duct (26) and the dimensions of which relative to the diameter of the flow duct (26) are small. The deflection elements (18) are coated with a functional layer (24). This ensures that, on the one hand, the components of a fluid medium are mixed homogeneously with one another and, on the other hand, the static mixer anticipates the function of a functional unit which follows the static mixer in the flow duct. This functional unit can, for example, be a de-NOx catalyst or an adsorber device, in which case the functional layer then comprises catalytic de-NOx material or adsorber material. <IMAGE> |
