Abstract
A catalytic combustor includes a frame and catalyst support plate assemblies carried by the frame. A catalyst support plate assembly includes a pair of opposing plates A, B, at least one having ridges A, B that define passageways between the pair of opposing plates. A catalyst is carried by the catalyst support plate assemblies . Both of the opposing plates A, B may have ridges A, B with valleys A, B between adjacent ridges. A pair of opposing plates A, B may be aligned and connected at opposing ridges A, B so that opposing valleys A, B define air passageways having predetermined shapes. The catalyst support plate assemblies may be arranged in back-to-back relation so that adjacent pairs of catalyst support plate assemblies define fuel/air passageways . Adjacent pairs of catalyst support plate assemblies may be offset from one another to define a nested configuration.
