Patent ID: 10287942

Abstract:
A honeycomb type heating device includes a pillar-shaped honeycomb substrate having a partition wall defining and forming a plurality of cells and a circumferential wall surrounding the partition wall; a plurality of heaters adjacent to each other arranged on a circumferential surface of a circumferential wall in the circumferential direction of the circumferential surface; a connecting body arranged in the circumferential direction of the circumferential surface and electrically connecting the plurality of heaters; and a metal case housing the honeycomb substrate, the plurality of heaters, and the connecting body. Each heater is a resistance-heating type heater, the cross-sectional area of the connecting body in a cross section perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the circumferential surface is 10.0 to 30.0 mm2, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the connecting body is higher than the thermal expansion coefficient of the honeycomb substrate by 3.0×10−6/° C. or more.
