APPARATUS FOR REFORMING OF FUEL

摘要

An apparatus for the reforming of fuels wherein the heat required for a stea m reforming reaction forming a hydrogen-rich gas from hydrocarbons and steam, which is endothermic, is supplied by allowing an exothermic oxidation reacti on to proceed together with the steam reforming, characterized in that the temperature of a region wherein the exothermic reaction proceeds is prevente d from elevating excessively, by (1) increasing a gas flow rate in an upstream side, (2) reducing a catalyst quantity in an upstream side, (3) carrying out heat exchange between an upstream and a down stream, or the like.
