Method and apparatus for improving the cold-starting performance of selective CO oxidation catalysts

摘要

To improve the cold-start performance of a selective CO oxidation catalyst in a gas-cleaning stage of a gas generation system for producing a hydrogen-containing reformate gas (in particular for a fuel cell system), after the gas generation system has been switched off, a flow of medium is guided over the selective CO oxidation catalyst in order to flush out constituents which delay starting.
