A raw fuel vaporizing apparatus comprising: a vaporizer (12) for vaporizing liquid raw fuel; a raw fuel introducing device for introducing the liquid raw fuel into the vaporizer; a catalyst combustor (11) into which fuel and air are supplied for catalytic ...

Provided is a catalyst for exothermic reaction such as combustion reaction or endothermic reaction such as steam reforming reaction and a method of producing the catalyst, a catalyst for water-gas-shift reaction or selective oxidization reaction of carbon ...

Combustion gas channels through which combustion gas (A) flowing in from a combustion gas inlet (17) passes are formed in first and second heat exchanger bodies (23) and (19) so as to be directed toward a combustion gas outlet (21) respectively. Liquid fue...

Apparatus comprises several chambers (9, 10, 11) for carrying out solid body catalyzed reactions; and a common vaporizing unit (2) for vaporizing liquid educts (1). One region of the vaporizing unit is partially surrounded by the chambers. Preferred Featur...

In a fuel cell system 10, a cracking unit 20 is provided upstream of a reformer 36. When the cracking unit 20 is supplied with oxygen and gasoline as a hydrocarbon-based fuel, the gasoline is partially oxidized and decomposed using oxidation-generated heat...

Device for introducing educts into parallel separated chambers (3) comprises a distributor unit (2) having outlets (21) which protrude into the chambers. At each point in the distributor unit the boiling point of the medium lies above the temperature of th...

Heat exchanger in layered design with multiple, fluidically parallel first layers (1a,1b...) that define first heat exchanger channels (5) through which a first medium can flow, and a respective second layer (2a,2b,...) between two first layers, wherein th...

The present invention is directed to a fuel reformer device that produces a hydrogen rich gas from a hydrocarbon and steam. The steam reforming reaction that produces the hydrogen rich gas from the hydrocarbon and steam is endothermic. A known technique su...

A single-pipe cylinder type reformer produces a hydrogen-rich reformed gas by performing steam reforming for a reformation material gas such as town gas. A circular inner cylinder (3 or 68) is concentrically located inside an upright circular outer cylinde...
