摘要： The methods and apparatus for heating a catalyst bed (410) for start-up and for providing heat to a catalyst bed (410) during transient operation to maintain desired reaction temperatures. An electrical heating element (400) may directly or indirectly heat the catalyst. The direct heating of catalyst is achieved by having direct contact of the heater element (400) with the catalyst. Indirect heating is achieved by direct heating of a fluid, such as a process flow, which in turn flows through the catalyst, thereby transferring heat to the catalyst. Additionally, indirect heating may be achieved by placing the heating element (400) within a sheath that is then either in direct contact with the catalyst or fluid that flows through the catalyst. By these means, catalyst of many forms may employ this catalyst heater (400), including pellets, extrudates, spheres, and monoliths. The catalyst heater (400) in accordance with this invention can be made of any resistive wire, cartridges, or rods that may be coupled to a power source to provide the energy to produce the heat.

摘要： An apparatus for carrying out a multi-step process of converting hydrocarbon fuel (200) to a substantially pure hydrogen gas (216), includes a plurality of reaction zones (208, 210, 212 and 214) arranged in a common reaction chamber (20) and a heat exchanger (202) internally positioned through the length of the reaction chamber (20) so as to provide heat or remote heat as required by a particular reaction zone. The multi-step process includes providing the fuel (200) to the reaction chamber (20) so that as the fuel reacts and forms the hydrogen rich gas (216), the intermediate gas products pass through each reaction zone as arranged in the reaction chamber (20) to produce the hydrogen rich gas (216).

摘要： An apparatus (20) for carrying out a multi-step process of converting hydrocarbon fuel (F) to a substantially pure hydrogen gas feed (H) includes a plurality of reaction zones (202, 204, 206, 208, 210) arranged in a common reaction chamber (212). The multi-step process includes providing a fuel (F) to the fuel processor (226) so that as the fuel (F) reacts and forms the hydrogen rich gas (H), the intermediate gas products pass through each reaction zone as arranged in the reactor to produce the hydrogen rich gas (H).
