Abstract:
A catalyst apparatus is disposed in an exhaust passage for exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine and includes a catalyst section for purifying the exhaust gas, and a heater section disposed upstream of the catalyst section in the exhaust passage and adapted to heat the exhaust gas. The pressure loss of the catalyst section in the flow velocity direction of the exhaust passage is smaller than the pressure loss of the catalyst section in a direction orthogonal to the flow velocity direction, and the heat capacity of the catalyst section is larger than the heat capacity of the heater section.

Claim (Index 5):
The catalyst apparatus for the internal combustion engine according to  claim 1 , wherein the catalyst section includes at least a reduction catalyst.
