SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A HYDROGEN ENRICHED FUEL
摘要
<p>A system (10) for producing a hydrogen enriched fuel includes a steam reformer (12) configured to produce an impure hydrogen-rich gas stream which includes a composition of hydrogen and impurities in selected quantities. The system (10) also includes a blending apparatus (14) configured to blend the impure hydrogen-rich gas stream with a hydrocarbon fuel in a predefined ratio. The system (10) can also include a compressor (16), a storage container (18), a fuel dispensing system (20) and a vehicle (22) having an engine (26) configured to burn the hydrogen enriched fuel. A method for producing the hydrogen enriched fuel includes the steps of producing the hydrogen-rich gas stream, and then blending the hydrogen-rich gas stream and the hydrocarbon fuel into the hydrogen enriched fuel at the predefined ratio.</p>
