Internal combustion engine with reformed gas generator

摘要

The invention discloses an internal combustion engine of the type in which alcohol or alcohol-containing mixture and air undergo the thermal or catalytic reforming reaction, and the reformed gases containing hydrogen are directly charged or mixed with gasoline or the like and charged into the engine for combustion. The production of soot and tar during the thermal or catalytic reforming reaction may be minimized, and the emission of noxious combustion products may be also minimized.
