发明名称 FUEL REFORMER SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS
摘要 A system for controlling a flow of a gas stream into a plurality of combustion chambers of an engine is provided. The system comprises a fuel reformer module configured to provide the flow of the gas stream containing hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide gas, a cooler module positioned downstream of the fuel reformer module with respect to the flow of the gas stream. The cooler module is configured to control a temperature of the gas stream. A flow control assembly is positioned downstream of the cooler module and upstream of the plurality of combustion chambers with respect to the flow of the gas stream. The flow control assembly is configured to supply a first effluent stream to a pre-chamber of the plurality of combustion chambers. The flow control assembly also supplies a second effluent stream to a main chamber of the plurality of combustion chambers.
