摘要 |
The present invention can be included in the technical field of CO preferential oxidation reactors and, more specifically, in preferential oxidation reactors that form part of an ethanol processing system for subsequently feeding a fuel cell used in naval or marine applications, which comprises at least three heat exchangers for cooling a gas stream with a high H2 concentration by means of a water stream and at least three preferential oxidation reactor modules having a catalyst bed, characterised in that the total number of tubes (15) of the heat exchangers (1, 10, 12) is integrated in a single cylindrical shell (14) and wherein an inlet manifold for the reformate gas (2) is disposed on one base of the cylindrical shell, while an oulet manifold that collects the reformate gas that flows out of the tubes and feeds it to each of the CO preferential oxidation modules (5, 11, 13) is disposed on the other base of the cylindrical shell. |
