Radial-flow and segmented honeycomb body

摘要

A honeycomb body for the chemical conversion of at least one component of a gas stream, in particular an exhaust-gas stream from an internal combustion engine, includes an inflow passage having an axis, and sheet-metal layers. At least some of the sheet-metal layers are structured to form two sets of crests and passages through which the gas stream can flow. Each of the sets of crests of each of the sheet-metal layers define a respective plane. The sheet-metal layers are segmented in circumferential direction of the honeycomb body. The axis and the plane include an angle of between 45° and 135°, preferably between 70° and 110°. The radial honeycomb body is particularly easy to produce.
