Patent ID: 7404254

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a catalyst carrier body, which comprises the following steps: producing a honeycomb body having at least partially structured layers forming channels through which a fluid can flow, producing the layers with ends, and producing the honeycomb body with an external extent formed at least partially by the ends of the layers; producing at least one corrugated casing; producing a housing having an internal contour; inserting the honeycomb body into the at least one corrugated casing; inserting the at least one corrugated casing with the honeycomb body into the housing with the housing at least partially surrounding the honeycomb body; calibrating the housing by reducing the internal contour of the housing, a profile of the at least one corrugated casing, and the honeycomb body; and connecting the honeycomb body to the housing with the at least one corrugated casing disposed between the honeycomb body and the housing.
