    Abstract: An assembly for induction heating an exhaust gas flow includes a substrate and linear cells for the flow of the gas through the substrate from a front end of the substrate body to a back end. Metal members such as pins or wires have linear supporting parts projecting from a front end of the substrate into front-end parts of the cells. The metal members have turbulence-inducing part to generate turbulence in the exhaust gas flowing into the cells and through the substrate. The turbulence-inducing parts are integral with respective linear supporting parts and extend away from the substrate. Configurations of an induction heating coil and a magnetic flux concentrator are adapted for the particular location and form of the pins.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to aid fixing of an elongate wire within an elongate, linear cell of a honeycomb ceramic substrate unit for a gaseous emissions treatment assembly. In one method, the wire is formed with a resiliently flexible element, and inserted into the cell, the insertion act causing the resiliently flexible element to flex and to cause a part of the element to bear against a wall of the cell and so provide frictional retention of the wire in the cell. In another, method, an adhesive is used either on the outside of the wire or the inside of the cell. In another method, the wire is scored at spaced intervals along its length to provide relief spaces for linear expansion of the wire to reduce stress at its interface with cell walls.

    Abstract: An assembly for use in treating gaseous exhaust emissions has an inductive heater mounted next to a gaseous emissions treatment unit. and downstream substrate units or upstream and downstream sections of a single substrate. The upstream unit or section has linear passages extending the length of the first substrate body for the passage of emissions gas but with some of the passages blocked by metal inserts for use in inductive heating of the upstream unit. The concentration of metal inserts is high and the metal inserts are distributed to enable rapid intense inductive heating of the slice or section to achieve “light off” temperature rapidly in order to pass heat-supplemented gaseous emissions at light-off temperature to the downstream substrate or section as quickly as possible.

    Abstract: An assembly for treating gaseous emissions has a substrate with cells for the passage of an emissions gas to be treated and inductive heating elements located in some of the cells. An electromagnetic field generator mounted near the substrate generates a varying electromagnetic field, so as to inductively heat the inductive heating elements and so heat the substrate. Some of the inductive heating elements have a first natural resonant frequency other inductive elements have a second natural resonant frequency different from the first resonant frequency. A power supply for the electromagnetic field generator is operated with a frequency closer to the first resonant frequency for a time and is operated with a frequency closer to the second resonant frequency period for a subsequent time period. By switching between the frequencies at different times, the heating profile can be moved in the substrate.
