Abstract: A reactor for autothermal reforming of hydrocarbons that allows a reduction of excess-air factor φ during the reforming without resulting in a reduced conversion of the hydrocarbons in an end region of the reaction zone. The reactor includes at least one reaction zone in which is arranged at least one catalyst structure for the reformation so that the educts involved in the reformation are converted while flowing through the reaction zone. A heating device is included for heating the end region of the reaction zone to accelerate the conversion of the hydrocarbons.

After an operating temperature required for the autothermal reforming process is reached, water or a water-containing medium is introduced into the first reaction zone, and the water content is increased until the conditions for the reforming process of the hydrocarbon prevail. The reforming process then takes place predominantly in a second reaction zone.

Abstract: A fuel cell method and apparatus includes upstream reforming of hydrocarbons and/or alcohols, with water contained in the exhaust air stream of the fuel cell system being recovered. An absorption unit is connected into the exhaust air stream of the fuel cell, and water absorbed therein is released in a desorption unit, preferably by means of heated air to be supplied, and/or by heating the glycol solution. The moist air can subsequently be returned to the fuel cell system or the reforming unit. This makes it possible to recover all of the process water, and to operate the system at low pressure.

Abstract: The invention relates to an autothermic reforming reactor, comprising an endothermic reaction zone, in which the reforming reaction takes place; an exothermic reaction zone, in which the energy is released which is required for the reforming reaction; a quench zone connected downstream of the reaction zones for the rapid cooling of the reactor gas volume flow. According to the invention, the endothermic reaction zone and the quench zone are separated by a gas permeable heat shield (HS), whereby the heat shield (HS) comprises thermal insulation (IS) for thermally insulating the endothermic reaction zone and quench zone, in addition to a thermal radiator (STR) which faces the endothermic reaction zone and radiates the thermal energy which has been absorbed from the reactor gas volume flow.
