Abstract
In a catalytic reactor for the burning of at least part of fuel-air mixtures flowing through the catalytic reactor, the catalytic reactor has a plurality of passages. The catalytic reactor is charged with lean fuel-air mixtures and rich fuel-air mixture. The catalytic reactor includes at least two sections (I,II,II). A first flow-washed section (I) is free of catalytic coatings and a catalytic coating is located in a downstream-lying second section (II) in the passages through which flows the rich fuel-air mixture.
