  • Honeycomb body made of ceramic material
    Patent number: 9630135
    Abstract: A honeycomb body of ceramic material for use in installations for cleaning and/or regenerating gases, comprising a prismatic body, which is penetrated by many rectilinear gas-flow channels parallel to one another, which discharge into both face ends of the honeycomb body, wherein the honeycomb body (1) has at least one tubular recess (5, 5?), which is oriented transversely to the direction of the flow channels (4).
    Type: Grant

  • Process for producing honeycomb bodies for thermal regenerators
    Patent number: 8206787
    Abstract: A process for producing a honeycomb body from a noncatalytically active ceramic material for thermal regenerators, comprising the steps of (a) providing a block-shaped monolithic honeycomb body created by extrusion that includes in its interior longitudinal channels; (b) applying a thermal pretreatment to the honeycomb body; (c) after step (b), coating or masking the outer walls of the honeycomb body with a glaze-repellent coating, coating all the longitudinal channels of the honeycomb body with a glaze, and then drying the honeycomb body; and (d) after step (c), performing a firing operation at a temperature typical for the glazed material.
