Catalyst carrier configuration for installation close to an engine

摘要

A catalyst carrier configuration includes a housing and at least one catalyst carrier body disposed in the housing. The catalyst carrier body has partition walls defining a plurality of passages for an exhaust gas. A flange surrounds the catalyst carrier body and extends radially outwards from the catalyst carrier body. The flange has a section that extends at least partially into an outer wall of the housing and can be disposed between a cylinder head and a manifold of an internal combustion engine. The catalyst carrier configuration can be mounted close an internal combustion engine. A structural unit having at least two catalyst carrier configurations and an exhaust system are also provided.
