COMPACT REACTOR FOR USE IN A HYDROGEN GENERATION/FUEL CELL SYSTEM

摘要

A reactor module (40) having one or more than one heat exchanger (1a and 1b) , a chamber block (2) capable of being charged with a catalyst (24), and a platform are assembled in a unit in which separate fluid flows of reactants and heat media are directed by manifolds (26) and ducts intrinsically formed in the module (40). Multiple reactor modules (45a and 45b) may be interconnected to form a further reactor module unit and the interconnected reactor units may in turn be configured for a large system with a high power rating.
