Process for forming a hydrogen-containing gas for operating a fuel cell system comprises tempering the region of a feed line of educts to a catalyst, and adjusting a positive or negative temperature difference depending on the device

摘要

Process for operating a device for converting starting material containing carbon and hydrogen using autothermal reformation or partial oxidation to form a hydrogen-containing gas comprises tempering the region of a feed line (4) of educts (E) to the catalyst (2) so that a temperature difference between this region and the catalyst front (3) facing this region is produced. The positive or negative temperature difference is adjusted depending on the operating state of the device (1) for carrying out the process. An independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out the process.
