DEVICE FOR EVAPORATING AND/OR OVERHEATING A HYDROCARBON

摘要

The invention relates to a device for evaporating and/or overheating a hydrocarbon or a hydrocarbon/water mixture for a gas producing system of a fuel cell system. The hydrocarbon or the hydrocarbon/water mixture flows through the medium part (1a) of a heat exchanger (1) which has a heat-conducting connection to a heat transfer medium part (1b) of the heat exchanger. A burner (3) is arranged in the direction of flow upstream of the heat transfer medium part of the heat exchanger. An exhaust gas of a combustion process that takes place in the burner flows through the heat transfer medium part of the heat exchanger.
