Abstract
A catalytic converter comprises a block having a bore receiving a tube coaxially, the tube being suspended in the bore by a fitting threaded into one end of the bore and being spaced from the wall of the bore so that a gas may flow along the exterior of the tube and then through the interior of the tube. For converting nitrogen dioxide to nitric oxide, the tube contains copper granules held in place by plugs of copper turnings. Temperature control and regulation are also provided.
