Abstract:
A gas duct ( 100 ) has a duct wall ( 110 ) enclosing an interior space ( 120 ), a heated porous metal structure ( 113 ) arranged in the interior space ( 120 ) for passing through gases and an electric heater ( 102 ). The electric heater ( 102 ) is a mineral-insulated heater including a heat conductor ( 104 ), one or more front-side connection openings and an outer metal jacket ( 108 ). The electric heater ( 102 ) has a section ( 102 a ), which is passed through the duct wall ( 110 ), so that all front-side connection openings ( 116 ) are arranged outside the interior space ( 120 ) of the gas duct ( 100 ) and the outer metal jacket ( 108 ) is welded or soldered to the duct wall ( 110 ) in the section. The heat conductor ( 104 ) is completely embedded in a ceramic insulation ( 106 ) at least in the sections of the electric heater ( 102 ) that are arranged in the interior space ( 120 ) of the gas duct ( 100 ).

Claim (Index 19):
The gas duct in accordance with  claim 18 , wherein the outer metal jacket and the at least one section are connected via a weld seam, the weld seams engaging an outer surface of the duct wall and an outer jacket wall surface of the at least one outer metal jacket, the heated porous metal structure comprises a first perforated structure and a second perforated structure, the first perforated structure being located at a spaced location from the second perforated structure, the at least one electric heater being located between the first perforated structure and the second perforated structure.
