Abstract
A catalytic converter includes a double-walled enclosure including inner and outer shells one positioned inside the other to define an annular adiabatic space therebetween, a perforated outer sleeve positioned inside the double walled enclosure with an outer chamber defined between it and the inner shell, and a perforated inner sleeve positioned inside the perforated outer sleeve with an annular intermediate chamber defined between it and the perforated outer sleeve while defining an inner chamber at the inside thereof. The annular intermediate chamber is used to contain a bed of catalyst material. The inner shell is constituted by first and second generally cylindrical shell sections while the outer shell is constituted by first and second longitudinal sections each being of a generally semicircular cross section.
