A heat-resistant metallic monolith, manufactured by forming metal powders into a honeycomb structure and by sintering the structure, has a heat-resistant metal oxide coated on the surface of the cell walls and that of the pores thereof. Such a heat-resistant metallic monolith is manufactured by mixing metal powders, an organic binder and water to prepare a mixture, by forming the mixture into a shape of a desired honeycomb configuration, by sintering the shape in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature between 1000.degree. and 1450.degree. C. and then by coating a heat-resistant metal oxide on a surface of the cell walls and that of the pores of the obtained sintered body.

A honeycomb heater having integrally formed and/or integrally sintered electrodes comprises a honeycomb structure having a desired honeycomb configuration, and electrodes which are integrally sintered with the honeycomb structure at predetermined positions thereon. The honeycomb heater having integrally sintered is manufactured by joining or contacting the electrode-like formed bodies to the formed honeycomb body, and then by sintering the formed honeycomb body with the electrode-like formed bodies attached or contacted thereto. The electrodes are made of the same material as that of the honeycomb body, or of a material having an electric resistance lower than that of the material comprising the honeycomb body. Alternatively, the honeycomb heater having integrally formed and integrally sintered electrodes is manufactured by preparing an extrusion of a honeycomb body as one body which has a honeycomb configuration and an electrode-like shape at predetermined positions thereon, and then sintering that formed honeycomb body.

In a catalytic converter operating method according to the present invention, a heater is energized at a predetermined power level or above and thereby heated substantially concurrently with the operation of an engine. During the heating, an oxidizing gas is introduced into the catalytic converter. When the temperature of the heater exceeds a value at which a main catalyst of the catalytic converter or a light-off catalyst carried on the heater functions, the power level is reduced by an output adjuster and supply of the oxidizing gas is suspended.

A resistance adjusting type heater has a honeycomb structure having a large number of passages, at least two electrodes to enable electrical heating of the honeycomb structure provided on the honeycomb structure, and a resistance adjusting means, a slit, provided between the electrodes. The thicknesses of passage walls at the portions of the honeycomb structure at which electricity flows at a very high density are increased with a conductive material to prevent the abnormal heat generation at the portions of the honeycomb structure.

The catalytic converter includes a first flow passage for an automotive exhaust gas and a second flow passage disposed parallel to the first flow passage to bypass the exhaust gas therethrough. The first flow passage contains a honeycomb heater or a heater catalyst which comprises a honeycomb heater with a catalyst carried thereon. At the beginning of an operation of any engine, the exhaust gas whose temperature is low is caused to flow through the first flow passage. When the temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds a predetermined value, the flow passage is switched from the first passage to the second flow passage.

A resistance adjusting type heater including a honeycomb structure with at least two electrodes provided thereon to supply a current to the honeycomb structure and with resistance adjusting elements provided between the electrodes. The resistance adjusting elements are formed such that a cross-section of a heating portion of the heater is substantially the same as that of a main monolithic catalyst. A catalytic converter includes the resistance adjusting heater which is disposed upstream of a main monolithic catalyst or between main monolithic catalysts. Also, the catalytic converter includes a resistance adjusting heater which is disposed downstream of a main monolithic catalyst. This resistance adjusting heater comprises a honeycomb structure with a catalyst carried thereon, with at least two electrodes provided thereon to supply a current to the honeycomb structure and with a resistance adjusting elements provided between the electrodes. The resistance adjusting elements are formed such that the cross-section of a heating portion of the heater is substantially the same as that of the main monolithic catalyst.
摘要:
A catalytic converter suitable for use in controlling automotive exhaust emissions including a honeycomb heater disposed downstream of a main monolithic catalyst or between main monolithic catalysts. The honeycomb heater includes a honeycomb structure with a catalyst carried thereon and with at least two electrodes provided thereon to supply a current thereto. A catalytic converter also includes a monolith catalyst for ignition which is disposed downstream of the honeycomb heater. A catalytic converter includes, in place of the honeycomb heater and the monolithic catalyst, a module which is composed of a catalyzed light-off honeycomb heater or of a honeycomb heater and a light-off monolithic catalyst. The module is removably disposed upstream or downstream of a main monolithic catalyst, or between main monolithic catalysts.
