METALLIC HONEYCOMB BODY, PARTICULARLY A CATALYST CARRIER, PROVIDED WITH A SUPPORTING WALL, AND ITS MANUFACTURING PROCESS

摘要

A catalyst carrier body and a method for producing the same, includes layers of textured curved metal sheets through which a fluid can flow, a jacket in which the curved metal sheets are disposed, and at least one supporting wall disposed in and firmly joined to the jacket forming a supporting structure for the body, the curved metal sheets being individually secured to the supporting walls for absorbing radial expansions of the supporting structure through changes in the curvature of the sheets.
