Abstract
Abstract A catalytic unit for treating gases, particularly exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, comprising a housing, adapted to be connected in an exhaust gas line, and a monolithic carrier body provided with a catalytic agent. The carrier body is mounted within the housing by an intermediate layer arranged in compression between the circumferential surface of the carrier body and the housing. According to the invention, the intermediate layer is so compressed by the surrounding housing that it exerts a pressure on the surface of the carrier body in the range of 20 to 80 N/cm 2 .

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A method of manufacturing a catalytic unit for the catalytic purification of exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: covering with an elastic intermediate layer an outer circumferential surface of a monolithic carrier body provided with a catalytic agent; arranging the covered body on a pre-rolled rectangular piece of sheet metal; wrapping said rectangular piece of sheet metal around the covered body and pulling the ends of the piece together in a jig or stretching device so as to exert a radial pressure on the surface of said carrier body in the range of 20 to 80 N/cm 2 ; and fastening the overlapping ends of said piece of sheet metal together.
