A catalytic combustor includes a plurality of channels formed by corrugated and flat strips, some of the channels being coated with a catalyst and others being uncoated. In the vicinity of the inlet end of the combustor, the boundary of each coated channel has a thermal barrier, to inhibit the flow of heat from the coated channel to an adjacent uncoated channel. Also in the vicinity of the inlet end, the coated channels may include one or more additional coated members, to enhance catalytic combustion in the light-off zone. The combustor of the present invention lights off at a relatively low temperature, and quickly reaches a stabilized and controlled operating temperature.

1. A catalytic combustor comprising a plurality of primary corrugated strips alternating with a plurality of flat strips, wherein the primary corrugated and flat strips define a plurality of channels, wherein some of the channels are coated with catalyst and wherein some of the channels are not coated with catalyst, wherein the combustor has an inlet end and an outlet end, and wherein the combustor further comprises, in a vicinity of the inlet end, an additional coated corrugated strip having corrugations in phase with, and of lesser amplitude than, corrugations of the primary corrugated strip, wherein the additional strip divides each coated channel into more than one coated channel. 2. The catalytic combustor of claim 1, wherein each coated channel includes, in a vicinity of the inlet end, at least two additional coated corrugated strips. 3. The catalytic combustor of claim 1, wherein at least some of the coated channels have, in a vicinity of the inlet end, a thermal barrier disposed between a strip defining the channel and the catalyst coating. 4. The catalytic combustor of claim 2, wherein at least some of the coated channels have, in a vicinity of the inlet end, a thermal barrier disposed between a strip defining the channel and the catalyst coating. 5. A catalytic combustor comprising a plurality of primary corrugated strips alternating with a plurality of flat strips, wherein the primary corrugated and flat strips define a plurality of channels, wherein some of the channels are coated with catalyst and wherein some of the channels are not coated with catalyst, and wherein a portion of some of the coated channels also include means for inhibiting heat transfer from a coated channel to an uncoated channel,the combustor further comprising an additional strip, coated with catalyst, and located within one of said coated channels, the additional strip having corrugations in phase with, and of lesser amplitude than, corrugations of a primary corrugated strip. 6. The catalytic combustor of claim 5, wherein the additional strip has two sides, and wherein the additional strip is coated with catalyst on both of said two sides. 7. A catalytic combustor comprising a plurality of corrugated strips alternating with a plurality of flat strips, wherein the corrugated and flat strips define a plurality of channels, wherein some of the channels are coated with catalyst and wherein some of the channels are not coated with catalyst, and wherein a portion of some of the coated channels also include means for inhibiting heat transfer from a coated channel to an uncoated channel,wherein the heat transfer inhibiting means comprises a thermal barrier located on at least a portion of a strip defining one of said coated channels,further comprising an additional strip, coated with catalyst, and located within one of said coated channels,wherein the additional strip has two sides, and wherein the additional strip is coated with catalyst on both of said two sides. 8. A catalytic combustor comprising a plurality of primary corrugated strips alternating with a plurality of flat strips, wherein the primary corrugated and flat strips define a plurality of channels, wherein some of the channels are coated with catalyst and wherein some of the channels are not coated with catalyst, wherein the combustor has an inlet end and an outlet end, and wherein at least some of the coated channels have, in a vicinity of the inlet end, a thermal barrier disposed between a strip defining the channel and the catalyst coating,wherein the combustor further comprises, in a vicinity of the inlet end, an additional coated corrugated strip having corrugations in phase with, and of lesser amplitude than, corrugations of the primary corrugated strip, wherein the additional strip divides each coated channel into more than one coated channel,wherein the additional strip has two sides, and wherein the additional strip is coated with catalyst on both of said two sides. 9. A catal ytic combustor comprising a plurality of primary corrugated strips alternating with a plurality of flat strips, wherein the primary corrugated and flat strips define a plurality of channels, wherein some of the channels are coated with catalyst and wherein some of the channels are not coated with catalyst, wherein the combustor has an inlet end and an outlet end, and wherein the combustor further comprises, in a vicinity of the inlet end, an additional coated corrugated strip having corrugations in phase with, and of lesser amplitude than, corrugations of the primary corrugated strip, wherein the additional strip divides each coated channel into more than one coated channel,wherein the additional strip has two sides, and wherein the additional strip is coated with catalyst on both of said two sides. 10. A catalytic combustor comprising a plurality of corrugated strips alternating with a plurality of flat strips, wherein the corrugated and flat strips define a plurality of channels, wherein the combustor has an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein some of the channels are coated with catalyst and wherein some of the channels are not coated with catalyst, wherein a portion of some of the coated channels include, only in a vicinity of the inlet end, a thermal barrier which inhibits heat transfer from a coated channel to an uncoated channel, and wherein the combustor further comprises an additional strip, coated with catalyst, and located within one of said coated channels, in a vicinity of the inlet end,wherein the additional strip has two sides, and wherein the additional strip is coated with catalyst on both of said two sides.
