Abstract
A catalyst carrier body has a honeycomb element with walls defining a multiplicity of channels through which a gas can flow. The honeycomb element has a catalytically active surface layer. The active surface layer is electrically heated for improving cold-starting properties and/or to raise the operating temperature in the catalytic converter.
Claims4
A catalyst carrier body, comprising a honeycomb element formed of ceramic material having walls defining a multiplicity of channels through which a gas can flow, an electrical auxiliary heater in the form of a catalytically active surface layer disposed on said walls of said honeycomb element, and means connected to said auxiliary heater for electrically heating said catalytically active surface layer.
