HONEYCOMB BODY WITH THERMAL INSULATION, PREFERABLY FOR AN EXHAUST GAS CATALYTIC CONVERTER

摘要

THE PRESENT INVENTION CONCERNS A HONEYCOMB BODY COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF HONEYCOMBS AND THERMAL INSULATION (43) WHICH HAS A PLURALITY OF STACKED AND/OR WOUND INSULATING SHEET LAYERS (4; 34) WHICH ARE IN MUTUALLY SUPPORTING RELATIONSHIP BY MEANS OF MICROSTRUCTURES (5) PROVIDED IN THE INSULATING SHEET LAYERS (34) SO THAT INTERMEDIATE SPACES EXIST BETWEEN THE INSULATING SHEET LAYERS (4; 34) WHEREIN THE MICROSTRUCTURES (5) ARE OF A HEIGHT OF FROM 10 µM TO 250 µM. IN THAT WAY THE HONEYCOMB BODY HAS ONLY SLIGHT HEAT LOSSES TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
