Abstract

See full text

A catalytic converter apparatus includes a housing having an inlet port, an outlet port, a chamber, an access opening, and an interior sealing surface generally encompassing a periphery of one of the inlet and outlet ports in the chamber. A substrate assembly is insertable into the chamber and removable from the chamber through the access opening, and includes a catalyst matrix for treating fluid. A positioning mechanism removably supports the substrate assembly within the chamber so that movement of the substrate assembly in a lateral direction generally parallel to the interior sealing surface moves the substrate assembly in an axial direction generally perpendicular to the interior sealing surface. The positioning mechanism may guide the substrate assembly in the axial direction into sealing engagement with the one of the inlet and outlet ports to provide a fluid flow path through the catalyst matrix between the inlet and outlet ports.
