发明名称 Reformed natural gas for powering an internal combustion engine
摘要 A method of operating an internal combustion engine comprising the steps of providing an internal combustion engine and a source of gaseous fuel such as natural gas or propane for powering the engine. Also, there is provided a reactor in fluid communication with said engine for reforming the gaseous fuel. The natural gas is added to the reactor for purposes of converting or reforming a portion of the natural gas to H2 and CO to provide a gaseous mixture exiting the reactor comprised of methane, H2 and CO. The gaseous mixture is mixed with air to provide a gaseous mixture and air combination. The gaseous mixture and air combination is introduced to the internal combustion engine and combusted to provide an exhaust gas. A portion of the exhaust gas is recycled and introduced to the reactor for purposes of reforming the gaseous fuel.
