Abstract
An apparatus for effecting high temperature catalytic conversion treatment of combustion exhaust gasses flowing in an exhaust path of an industrial installation which comprises a housing assembly including a fixed housing unit forming a fixed part of a gas exhaust path defining an opening, the housing assembly includes a cover member mounted on the fixed housing unit for movement from an operative position closing the opening to an open position providing access to an interior space within the fixed housing unit through the opening. A mounting assembly is provided for mounting one or more catalytic carrier assemblies stably both axially and peripherally within the housing assembly so that exhaust gasses flow only through passages in the catalytic carrier assemblies in operation. The mounting assembly enables the catalytic carrier assembly to be removed from the interior space of the fixed housing unit through the opening when the cover member is moved to the open position for servicing while the fixed housing unit remains fixed within the gas flow path to receive another catalytic carrier assembly.
