REFORMER REACTOR AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING HYDROCARBON FUELS INTO HYDROGEN RICH GAS

摘要

Present invention relates to a reformer reactor for converting hydrocarbon fuel into hydrogen rich gas by auto-thermal reaction process having a, preferably cylindrically shaped, double wall housing with an inner wall and an outer wall and two side faces, wherein the inner wall and the two side faces form a reaction chamber. Additionally, the inner wall is charged with a first electric charge which prevents the hydrocarbon fuel molecules injected into the reaction chamber by a fuel inlet from hitting the warm inside surfaces of the reaction chamber and burn to soot, subsequently.
