THERMALLY TOLERANT SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR A CATALYTIC COMBUSTION CATALYST

摘要

A support structure (100) for being disposed within an outer containment comprising: a center (104); at least two branched segments oriented about the center and encompassed by an outer perimeter; wherein each branched segment includes: a plurality of struts (102); each strut having a proximal end (108) and a distal end (110); the distal end of each strut extending to the perimeter; wherein the proximal end of one strut is connected to the center and each consecutive strut is connected to the previous strut at the proximal end of the consecutive strut such that alternate consecutive struts are substantially parallel to each other.
