Compact steam reforming reactor, especially for generating hydrogen for a fuel cell, includes an exothermic reaction catalyst in the form of a coating

摘要

Steam reforming reactor comprises an alternating sequence of layers, each comprising a reforming zone (4) filled with an endothermic reforming catalyst, a heat-conducting partition (1) and a heating zone (2) containing an exothermic reaction catalyst in the form of a coating (3), where the volume of the reforming zone is greater than that of the heating zone.
