Abstract:
A honeycomb structure of the present invention includes a honeycomb structure body and a pair of electrode member arranged at a side surface of the honeycomb structure body. The honeycomb structure body has an electrical resistivity of 1 to 200 Ωcm, and the respective pair of electrode members is formed into a band-like shape extending in a direction in which the cells extend. In a cross section perpendicular to the cell extending direction, one of the electrode members is arranged opposite to another of the electrode members sandwiching a center of the honeycomb structure body. One or more of slits, which being open to a side surface, are formed at the honeycomb structure body. At least the one slit is formed so as not to intersect with a straight line connecting center portions of the respective pair of electrode members in the cross section perpendicular to the cell extending direction.
Abstract:
There are disclosed an information-display-equipped electric-heating-type heater, and a method of using the above information. An information-display-equipped electric-heating-type heater includes a tubular honeycomb structure made of a conductive material and having porous partition walls to define and form a plurality of cells which become through channels for a fluid and extend from one end face to the other end face, and a circumferential wall positioned in an outermost circumference; and a pair of electrodes disposed on the circumferential wall of the honeycomb structure, and information concerning a heater performance of the electric-heating-type heater is displayed in the honeycomb structure.
Abstract:
A honeycomb structure includes a cylindrical honeycomb structure section having porous partition walls to define and form a plurality of cells, and an outer peripheral wall, and a pair of electrode sections disposed on a side surface of the honeycomb structure section. An electrical resistivity of the honeycomb structure section is from 1 to 200 Ωcm, and each of the pair of electrode sections is constituted of a laminated body of two or more electrode bodies. An area of the electrode body disposed closest to an outer peripheral wall side is larger than an area of the other electrode body, and in a cross section perpendicular to a cell extending direction, a center angle of the electrode body disposed closest to the outer peripheral wall side is larger than a center angle of the other electrode body.
