<p>There is provided an electrically heatable catalytic converter insert (10) for insertion in a current internal combustion engine exhaust line (38). The device described includes a housing (22) and a polycellular corrugated thin metal foil monolith (12) disposed therein, and having a central core (14). The monolith (12) includes a noble metal catalyst disposed of the inner surface of the cells. There are also provided a positive terminal (18) and a negative terminal (20) for attachment to a voltage source. The positive terminal (18) is attached to the central core (14), and the negative terminal (20) is attached to the housing (22), the foil providing a heatable resistance member enabling heating of the device by electrical power. The positive (18) and negative terminals (20) are electrically insulated from each other and each has a radially projecting arm (40,52) for attachment of cables from a voltage source. <IMAGE></p> |
