摘要:
A gaseous emissions treatment component is made by extruding a green ceramic mix through a die to form an extrusion having a honeycomb substrate with elongate cells extending its length and with the cells bounded by walls dividing adjacent cells from one another. Molten metal for use in induction heating of the component is placed in selected cells and is solidified by cooling.
摘要:
An assembly for treating gaseous emissions includes a substrate body having cells for the passages of emissions gas. Lengths of metal wire are located in selected ones of the cells and an induction heating coil is mounted adjacent the substrate body for generating a varying electromagnetic field. In this way the metal wires are heated, resulting in heating of the substrate body and heating of exhaust gas flowing in the cells. The metal wires are distributed non-uniformly through the substrate body to obtain a desired heating pattern.

A catalytic converter assembly has a substrate body with a plurality of cells for passage therethrough of exhaust gases. Metal is located at predetermined locations in the substrate body. An electromagnetic field generator is mounted adjacent the substrate for generating a varying electromagnetic field inductively to heat the metal and so heat the substrate.
摘要:
In a process for manufacturing a catalytic converter component, a ceramic unit is used that has been prepared by extruding green ceramic product through a die to form an extrusion having a honeycomb substrate structure in which tubular passages extend along the extrusion, the passages bounded by walls dividing adjacent passages from one another. The unit is obtained by cutting off a length of the extrusion and curing and firing it. The process further comprises flowing insulation material from one end of the unit into selected ones of the elongate passages, the insulating material then being cured by microwave irradiation. The passages are selected so that the cured insulation material forms an internal thermal insulating barrier between a core zone of the unit and a radially outer zone of the unit.

摘要:
In various embodiments, an electromagnetic field generator generates one or more power signals applied to one or more coils to cause the induction heating of the pins of the emission control device. The pins can have a plurality of differing lengths, and the heating of the pins can cause a first region of the emission control device to heat faster than a second region of the emission control device.
