Abstract:
The present invention provides a highly durable, electrically heated catalytic converter having a relatively simple structure while its inner tube is curved toward the central axis, wherein an insulation layer formed on the inner tube is less susceptible to cracking and peeling even when the inner tube is subjected to temperature changes or temperature gradients. An electrically heated catalytic converter for purifying exhaust gas includes a catalyst carrier supporting a catalyst and configured to generate heat by energization; a case for accommodating the catalyst carrier; and an electrical insulation mat interposed between the catalyst carrier and the case, wherein the case includes an outer tube disposed at the outermost side and an inner tube disposed inside the outer tube; in a cross section upstream of the catalyst carrier taken along a plane including the central axis of the case, the inner tube includes a first curved portion and a second curved portion formed in this order from the side closer to the catalyst carrier, the first curved portion is curved so as to outwardly project and the second curved portion is curved in the direction opposite to the curvature of the first curved portion so as to project toward the central axis, the second curved portion has a curvature radius larger than that of the first curved portion, and an insulation layer is formed on at least one portion of the inner tube.
