Abstract

A porous structure through which at least one fluid flows, consisting of a plurality of honeycomb blocks each of which has partition walls defining a multiplicity of parallel channels. The plurality of honeycomb blocks adjacently located in stacked packings, the stacked packings being superposed on each other such that the parallel channels formed in honeycomb blocks in two superposed stacked packings communicate with each other. The parallel channels in one of the honeycomb blocks are inclined with respect to the parallel channels in the corresponding honeycomb blocks such that the honeycomb blocks cooperate to form a multiplicity of zigzag fluid passages extending through the porous structure.
