摘要:
A hydrocarbon reformer system including a first reactor configured to generate hydrogen-rich reformate by carrying out at least one of a non-catalytic thermal partial oxidation, a catalytic partial oxidation, a steam reforming, and any combinations thereof, a second reactor in fluid communication with the first reactor to receive the hydrogen-rich reformate, and having a catalyst for promoting a water gas shift reaction in the hydrogen-rich reformate, and a heat exchanger having a first mass of two-phase water therein and configured to exchange heat between the two-phase water and the hydrogen-rich reformate in the second reactor, the heat exchanger being in fluid communication with the first reactor so as to supply steam to the first reactor as a reactant is disclosed. The disclosed reformer includes an auxiliary reactor configured to generate heated water/steam and being in fluid communication with the heat exchanger of the second reactor to supply the heated water/steam to the heat exchanger.

摘要:
Fuel processing systems, which reform a hydrocarbon fuel to produce hydrogen suitable for use in a fuel cell, have multiple air inlets for various process steps. Controls and feedback loops are correspondingly complex. Controlling the multiple airflows to a pressurized fuel processor using a single onboard compressor and a number of low pressure drop valves is a significant challenge to overcome in the process of getting a reformed on board a vehicle. A method has been developed for controlling the compressor speed based on the airflow demand of the partial oxidation (POX) zone, without direct feedback from the other airflows in the system. This ensures that the principal zone of air consumption always gets the appropriate amount of air, thus controlling the temperature of that zone and the reaction chemistry effectively. This method also allows removal of extra flow sensors from airflows where the effect of changed airflow (e.g. temperature change) can be used as a feedback to an air controller instead of the actual airflow itself. Similar principles are applicable in the control of other flows, such as fuel and water, when several flows are fed by a common source.
