Fuel reformer system for a turbomachine system

摘要

A turbomachine system includes a compressor portion having a compressor inlet and a compressor outlet, a turbine portion operatively connected to the compressor portion, a combustor having a combustor inlet fluidly connected to the compressor outlet and a combustor outlet fluidly connected to the turbine portion; and a reformer having a reformer inlet fluidly connected to the compressor outlet and a reformer outlet fluidly connected to the combustor inlet. The reformer partially combusts air from the compressor portion and a fuel to form a hydrogen-rich syngas.

1. A turbomachine system comprising:
a compressor portion having a compressor inlet and a compressor outlet; a turbine portion operatively connected to the compressor portion; a combustor having a combustor inlet fluidly connected to the compressor outlet and a combustor outlet fluidly connected to the turbine portion; a reformer having a reformer inlet fluidly connected to the compressor outlet and a reformer outlet fluidly connected to the combustor inlet, the reformer partially combusting air from the compressor portion and a fuel to form a hydrogen-rich syngas; a fuel system having a first fuel circuit fluidly connected to the reformer inlet and a second fuel circuit fluidly connected to the combustor inlet, wherein the second fuel circuit is in a thermally conductive heat exchange relationship with the reformer; a compressor member having a compressor member inlet fluidly connected to the compressor outlet and a compressor member outlet fluidly connected to the reformer inlet; and a first heat exchange member fluidly connected between the compressor outlet and compressor member inlet, and the compressor member outlet and the reformer inlet.
