Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19804213A1] The invention relates to a catalytic exhaust gas cleaning system (1) and a corresponding compensation layer (4), especially for motor vehicles. The inventive system reliably protects a so-called swelling mat (5) from strongly pulsating streams of exhaust gases, even at very high ambient temperatures. To this end, a compensation layer (4) comprising the swelling mat (5) and an insulating mat (6) is provided between an outer housing (3) and a honeycomb (2). An edging (7) is produced preferably by folding round the insulating mat (6). Said edging (7) is thicker in the area of at least one face of the honeycomb (2) than in the remaining inner area (8) of the insulating mat (6). Next to the side of the inner area (8) facing away from the honeycomb (2), the swelling mat (5) is arranged so that the thicker area of the edging (7) of the insulating mat (6) covers those edge areas of the swelling mat (5) which are at risk of abrasion. The compensation layer (4) preferably consists of a composite material which can be wound. The invention is characterised by its especially simple and effective construction and is also suitable for use in devices within motor vehicle exhaust gas cleaning systems (1) which are situated close to the engine, even when thin-walled-ceramic honeycombs are used.
