Patent number: 11911752Abstract: A honeycomb body for exhaust gas aftertreatment includes a plurality of interconnected metal foils stacked on one another. The honeycomb body has a central first flow channel running in the axial direction of the honeycomb body, as an inflow section, and has a plurality of second flow channels between in each case two mutually adjacent metal foils. The first flow channel is in fluid communication with the second flow channels. The second flow channels formed between two mutually adjacent metal foils run in a straight line and parallel to one another along a radial direction of the honeycomb body.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: VITESCO TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventors: Christoph Pabst, Peter Hirth, Ferdi Kurth, Michael Voit, Sven Schepers
