摘要:
An undulated-wall honeycomb structure (1) has multiple cell passages (2) with mutually parallel passage directions. With this undulated-wall honeycomb structure (1), intersections (4) between walls (3) partitioning the cell passages (2) are formed at cross-sections perpendicular to the cell passages (2) and positioned systematically maintaining a predetermined pitch, and also the wall face portions (5) of the walls (3) excluding the intersections (4) are formed with undulated shapes in both the cell passage direction and the cross-section direction perpendicular to the cell passage direction. According to this undulated-wall honeycomb structure, advantages such as improved exhaust gas purification capabilities and catalyst capabilities, improved mechanical strength for canning, and further improved heat-resistant shock properties can be obtained.
摘要:
A ceramic honeycomb catalytic converter having a novel canning structure capable of stably retaining a thin-walled ceramic honeycomb catalyst within a metal casing for a long period. A retainer member in the form of a ceramic fiber mat is disposed between an inner peripheral surface of the casing and an outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb catalyst, in a compressed state to generate a surface pressure for retaining the honeycomb catalyst in place. The ceramic fiber mat is composed of heat resistant and non-intumescent ceramic fibers, and has a compression characteristic which is substantially free from a significant increase or decrease over an operative temperature range of the catalytic converter. The casing may be provided with at least one locking member for locking the ceramic fiber mat in a flow direction of exhaust gas passed through the honeycomb catalyst.

There is disclosed a honeycomb structure (1) comprising: a plurality of honeycomb segments (2a, 2b), bonded into one piece, having a large number of cells (6) separated from one another by cell walls (10) and extending through an axial direction. At least one honeycomb segment (2a) not constituting an outermost peripheral surface (23) of the honeycomb structure (1) has a larger average cell wall thickness and a smaller or equal cell density compared with those of at least one honeycomb segment (2b) constituting the outermost peripheral surface (23). There is disclosed a honeycomb structure assembly in which a material B having compressive elasticity is disposed in a compressed state on the outermost peripheral surface (23) of the honeycomb structure (1) to compression-hold the honeycomb structure (1) in a metallic container. The honeycomb structure and assembly can prevent deterioration of reactivity, purification efficiency, and regeneration efficiency at the time of use, and can be low in pressure loss and better in durability against breakage by thermal stress.

The present invention provides a ceramic honeycomb filter, wherein a value obtained by dividing the cube of a porosity (%) in the partition walls having the catalyst (the porosity is a proportion of the volume of the total pores contained in the partition walls, to the total volume of the partition walls including the total pores) by a mean diameter (μm) of all pores, is 0.8×104 or less, and a porosity (%) of pores of 100 μm or above in diameter in the partition walls (the porosity is a proportion of the volume of the pores of 100 μm or above in diameter, to the total volume of the partition walls including the total pores) is 5% or less. With this ceramic honeycomb filter, particulate matter such as soot, deposited on the partition walls can be treated at low temperatures.
