  • Patent number: 8246710
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a honeycomb structural body with a long service life, which can reduce a pressure loss to a low level upon collecting particulates and maintain the pressure loss at the low level for a long time even after regenerating processes. The honeycomb structural body includes a columnar porous ceramic block in which a large number of through holes are placed in parallel with one another in the length direction with a wall portion interposed therebetween.

  • Patent number: 7517502
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a honeycomb structural body which makes it possible to prevent a thermal stress from concentrating on plugs for sealing a group of inlet-side through holes and the vicinity thereof during a regenerating process, and consequently to prevent occurrence of cracks. The honeycomb structural body of the present invention is a pillar-shaped honeycomb structural body mainly made of porous ceramics, in which a plurality of through holes are placed in parallel with one another in the length direction with a partition wall interposed therebetween. Herein, the through holes are constituted by a group of inlet-side through holes, whose ends are sealed by plugs at the outlet side such that the total sum of areas on cross sections perpendicular to the length direction is made relatively greater, and a group of outlet-side through holes, whose ends are sealed by plugs at the inlet side such that the total sum of areas on the cross sections thereof is made relatively smaller.

  • Publication number: 20080241444
    Abstract: A honeycomb structure including a ceramic block having two ends. The ceramic block is formed of a plurality of honeycomb units having cell walls, which define a plurality of cells that extend from one end to the other end. The honeycomb units are bonded together by interposing bonding layers therebetween. A coat layer is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the ceramic block. At least one heat absorbing material is provided to at least one part selected from among the cell walls, the coat layer, and the bonding layer.
