The catalytic converter is disposed between two exhaust gas line segments, each forming one line connection with the catalytic converter and each contacting a stop face of the exhaust gas catalytic converter. A bracing element engages at least one of the exhaust gas line segments and braces the catalytic converter between the exhaust gas line segments. The system is particularly suitable for economical retrofitting of exhaust gas catalytic converters in motor cycles.Field of SearchSolid, extended surface, fluid contact typeElectrical type Including solid, extended surface, fluid contact reaction means; e.g., inert Raschig rings, particulate absorbent, particulate or monolithic catalyst, etc. Unitary (i.e., nonparticulate) contact bed (e.g., monolithic catalyst bed, etc.) Fixed bed with resilient or differential thermal expansion compensating bed support means Using a catalyst Having a means for heating the catalyst | |
