Claims
- 1. A plate-type catalytic converter, comprising:
- a holder device; plates being coated with a catalytically active composition, being held one above the other in said holder device and extending along a main flow direction;
- said plates including first and second adjacent plates forming at least one reaction chamber; and
- said first plate having a corrugated first structure formed of wave troughs and wave crests oriented obliquely relative to said main flow direction for deflecting a flow medium flowing along said first structure from said main flow direction; and said second plate having a second structure formed of wave troughs and wave crests oriented parallel to said main flow direction.
- 2. The plate-type catalytic converter according to claim 1, wherein said wave crests of said first structure extend obliquely along the entire first plate without a change of direction.
- 3. The plate-type catalytic converter according to claim 1, wherein said wave crests of said first structure have an orientation, as viewed in said main flow direction, in at least two different oblique directions.
- 4. The plate-type catalytic converter according to claim 1, wherein said first plate has plate parts at which the flow medium is deflected and apertures formed in said plate parts.
- 5. The plate-type catalytic converter according to claim 1, wherein said first and second plates are retained one above the other in alternation in said holder device.
- 6. The plate-type catalytic converter according to claim 1, wherein said plates are spaced apart from one another by said wave troughs and wave crests of said first and second structures.
