Pollution control device
The invention discloses an antipollution device for substantially reducing the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons contained in the exhaust gases of vehicles. The device includes a container having an inlet adapted to be connected to the engine manifold of the vehicle and an outlet adapted to be connected to the exhaust pipe. The walls of the container are lined with a castable refractory material containing a binder resistant to high temperatures. The ocntainer also includes a stacked array of members formed from the refractory material. The stacked array includes at least three layers of members, with the members of adjacent layers being arranged perpendicular to each other to form passageways within the container connecting the inlet and outlet so that as exhaust gases pass through the passageways within the container connecting the inlet and outlet so that as exhaust gases pass through the passageways, they substantially reduce the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons contained therein.
