Abstract

A PCM device (1) is provided for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle. A simplified installation of the PCM device (1), with reduced heat stresses, is achieved through the provision of at least one storage plate (2), which has two plate bodies (3, 4), which follow each other, enclose a storage space (7) filled with heat storage material (18) and have a wave structure (5, 6) each. The wave structure (5) of one plate body (3) extends sloped in relation to the wave structure (6) of the other plate body (4).
