<p>DEVICE FOR HOLDING A GRANULAR CATALYST Device for holding a granular catalyst suitable for use in the decontamination of exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine. The device comprises a housing which is closed by means of end plates and provided with a gas inlet and gas outlet and in which there is disposed a sleeve having perforated walls which are substantially circular in cross-section, this sleeve being disposed therein substantially concentrically with respect to the gas inlet. The device is provided with one or more flowdefining means which are accommodated in the housing, the gas flow-defining means causing gas admitted to the housing to be at least partially directed in a substantially axial direction so as to form a stream flowing under increased static pressure towards one of the end regions of the sleeve.</p> |
