Abstract
Various structures for catalytic convertors are disclosed herein. The device includes an outer housing enclosing a catalytic core. The catalytic core can be formed in a myriad of ways. Flow paths through the core are constructed so that they are not straight-line paths from the inlet of the device to the outlet of the device. Zigzag conformations and stacked panel arrays are described that maximize the catalytic surface area in a given volume of housing.
