摘要 |
The invention relates to a reformer (10) for converting fuel (32) and oxidant (34) into a reformate (30), comprising a catalytic device (12) through which the fuel (32) and oxidant (34) can flow via a catalyst inlet (36), and a heat exchanger (14). According to the invention, the heat exchanger (14) is in heat-exchanging communication with least one segment of the catalytic device (12) adjacent to the catalyst inlet (36). The invention further relates to a method for operating such a reformer (10). |
