摘要

A catalytic converter of a radial flow type including an outer casing, a cylindrical outer separator, and a cylindrical inner separator, the two separators defining a catalyst chamber therebetween, wherein the end portions at one end of the two separators are firmly connected to the outer casing while the other end portions of the two separators are formed as mutually telescoping closed free ends having a radial and an axial clearance therebetween, these free end portions being flexibly supported from the outer casing by means of a plate element.
