Abstract: A compact, multitube steam reformer converts a fuel into a reformate stream comprising hydrogen. In one embodiment, the reformer comprises a closed vessel and a burner disposed within the vessel. The burner comprises a start fuel manifold for receiving and distributing a start fuel stream, an oxidant manifold for receiving and distributing an oxidant stream, and a burner fuel manifold for receiving and distributing a burner fuel stream. The oxidant manifold comprises a plurality of oxidant distribution tubes, each having an inlet end and an outlet end, disposed in a separator member. The burner fuel manifold comprises a plurality of burner fuel distribution tubes, each having an inlet end and an outlet end. The burner fuel distribution tubes extend through the start fuel manifold and the oxidant manifold and are fluidly isolated therefrom. The outlet end of each of the burner fuel distribution tubes extends into the inlet end of a corresponding oxidant distribution tube, thereby forming a gap between the outer wall of the burner fuel distribution tube and the inner wall of the oxidant distribution tube. The start fuel manifold has one or more openings therein associated with at least a portion of the burner fuel distribution tubes.

Abstract translation: 紧凑的多管蒸汽重整器将燃料转化为包含氢的重整产品流。 在一个实施例中，重整器包括设置在容器内的密闭容器和燃烧器。 燃烧器包括用于接收和分配起始燃料流的起始燃料歧管，用于接收和分配氧化剂流的氧化剂歧管以及用于接收和分配燃烧器燃料流的燃烧器燃料歧管。 氧化剂歧管包括多个氧化剂分配管，每个氧化剂分配管具有设置在分离器构件中的入口端和出口端。 燃烧器燃料歧管包括多个燃烧器燃料分配管，每个具有入口端和出口端。 燃烧器燃料分配管延伸穿过起始燃料歧管和氧化剂歧​​管并与其流体隔离。 每个燃烧器燃料分配管的出口端延伸到相应的氧化剂分配管的入口端，从而在燃烧器燃料分配管的外壁和氧化剂分配管的内壁之间形成间隙。 起始燃料歧管具有与燃烧器燃料分配管的至少一部分相关联的一个或多个开口。
