Abstract
The disclosure relates to an improved catalytic converter core which is characterized by a plurality of spaced rigid centrally located pins about which are wrapped a plurality of corrugated thin metal strips. The configuration of the resulting core is determined by the number of centrally located pins, for example, with two pins the configuration is oval. Electric power may be selectively applied to effect heating of the core. Catalyst may be applied to the surface or surfaces of the corrugated thin metal strips to aid in converting undesirable materials in a gas stream to more acceptable materials.
