Abstract: An exhaust heat recovery system 25 provided with a plurality of heat pipes 60, 61 provided with heat recovery parts 60a, 61a and heat exchange parts 60b, 61b. The heat pipes recover heat from exhaust gas exhausted from an internal combustion engine at the heat recovery parts and transfer this recovered heat to an object to be heated at the heat exchange parts. The heat recovery part 60a of the first heat pipe 60 recovers heat from the exhaust gas at an exhaust purification catalyst 20′ provided in an engine exhaust passage or its upstream side. The heat recovery part 61b of the second heat pipe 61 recovers heat from the exhaust gas at the downstream side of the exhaust purification catalyst. Due to this, there is provided an exhaust heat recovery system which can recover at least a fixed amount of exhaust heat at all times while maintaining a warm-up performance of the exhaust purification catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for efficiently producing hydrogen that can be supplied to a fuel cell. The method and system of the present invention produces hydrogen in a reforming reactor using a hydrocarbon stream and water vapor stream as reactants. The hydrogen produced is purified in a hydrogen separating membrane to form a retentate stream and purified hydrogen stream. The purified hydrogen can then be fed to a fuel cell where electrical energy is produced and a fuel cell exhaust stream containing water vapor and oxygen depleted air is emitted. In one embodiment of the present invention, a means and method is provided for recycling a portion of the retentate stream to the reforming reactor for increased hydrogen yields. In another embodiment, a combustor is provided for combusting a second portion of the retentate stream to provide heat to the reforming reaction or other reactants. In a preferred embodiment, the combustion is carried out in the presence of at least a portion of the oxygen depleted air stream from the fuel cell. Thus, the system and method of the present invention advantageously uses products generated from the system to enhance the overall efficiency of the system.
