Abstract (en)
[origin: DE19646242A1] The present invention relates to a catalytic converter for a small-size engine and a method for the production thereof. In order to cut production costs, a honeycomb shaped body, coated with a catalytically active material made out of at least partially structured metal sheets (5, 6) with exhaust gas conduits (7), is placed in the housing of a silencer located close to the engine in order to enable at least the greater part of the exhaust gas from the engine to flow through the honeycomb body. The honeycomb body is a layered, wound or folded pile of metal sheets (5,6) which is squeezed into the silencer housing (3.1, 3.2, 3.3) with a plastic deformation of at least 10 %, preferably 20-30 % of the conduits (7), whereby said body entirely fills at least a partial volume. The considerable deformation that occurs in part of the conduits (7) also leads to high elastic deformation in the rest of the honeycomb body, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the honeycomb body even in the case of alternating thermal strains.
