Abstract
A recombination device () for catalytically recombining hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide with oxygen in a gaseous mixture comprises at least one catalyst system () in which a housing () is mounted through which the gaseous mixture can flow in free convection in the operational phase. According to the invention, said catalyst system () is provided with a plurality of sub-areas (T, T) in the direction of flow. A first sub-area (T) comprises in the incoming direction a catalyst body () with a surrounding throttle layer () for inhibiting the diffusion of the incoming and/or discharged reaction gases. A second sub-area (T) that adjoins the first sub-area (T) comprises at least one catalyst body () that is directly accessible by the reaction gases.
