Abstract: Apparatus for rapidly heating one or more reactants for use in a fuel reformer. The apparatus includes a combustion section having an outer wall enclosing a combustion chamber and a catalyst disposed within the combustion chamber. The catalyst provides a non-diffused flow path through the combustion chamber for the combustion of gases and generation of heat and passage of such gases and heat from the combustion chamber. A heat recovery section is in fluid communication with the combustion section and has an outer wall defining a heat recovery chamber. At least one heat exchanging element is located within the heat recovery chamber having an inlet for receiving a fuel reforming reactant and an outlet for directing a heated reactant out of the heat recovery section. The combustion section is elevated relative to the heat recovery section such that heated combustion gases are displaced down into the heat recovery section. The combustion and heat recovery sections have outer walls that are continuous with one another to form a housing that is preferably cylindrical. The housing has an internal diameter of less than about 10 inches, or alternatively, has a length and a diameter in a ratio of between about 7:1 and about 4:1. Methods for the rapid start-up of a fuel processor using such a pre-reformer are also provided, as are integrated fuel processors comprising a fuel reformer and the disclosed pre-reformer.

Abstract: A fuel conversion reactor includes a shell-and-tube heat exchanger for controlling the temperature of a hot gaseous mixture produced by catalytic or non-catalytic reaction of a fuel with a gaseous fluid, and for controlling the temperature of the gaseous fluid and/or the fuel prior to the reaction. The reactor is either a catalytic or non-catalytic burner, or a fuel reformer for converting a fuel to hydrogen. A preferred reactor includes an outer shell having first and second ends and an inner surface, a primary inner shell extending into the outer shell, the primary inner shell defining a heat exchanging chamber and having primary and secondary ends, and a secondary inner shell having a first end located adjacent the secondary end of the primary inner shell. One or more outlet apertures are formed between the two inner shells for passage of the gaseous fluid out of the heat exchanging chamber. There are also a plurality of heat exchange tubes extending through the heat exchanging chamber between first and second tube sheets and connected to same. The first tube sheet is mounted in the primary inner shell while the second tube sheet is connected to the secondary inner shell. The tubes form passages for flow of the hot gaseous mixture in heat exchange contact with the gaseous fluid through the heat exchanging chamber, thereby preheating the gaseous fluid prior to reaction with the fuel. The adjacent ends of the inner shells form a disconnected joint and the secondary inner shell is free to move relative to the primary inner shell upon thermal expansion of the tubes.

Abstract: A method for reducing NOx in a gas stream by sequentially exposing the gas stream to a first and a second catalyst. The first catalyst converts at least a portion of the gas stream to a reducing gas, it reduces at least a portion of the NOx in a first temperature range, and it absorbs at least a portion of the NOx in the first temperature range. The second catalyst reduces at least a portion of the NOx in a second temperature range utilizing the reducing gas produced by the second catalyst. The reducing gas produced by the first catalyst is typically a partially oxidized hydrocarbon, preferably an aldehyde, and more preferably acetaldehyde or formaldehyde. In addition to the first and second catalysts, the gas stream may be exposed to a plasma. Preferably, the first catalyst is selected as a zeolite, and more preferably a zeolite impregnated with a cation. The cation is preferably selected from the group consisting of an alkaline cation, an alkaline earth cation, and combinations thereof and preferably exhibits pores sizes of greater than 4 angstroms, and more preferably exhibits pores sizes of greater than 7 angstroms. The second catalyst is preferably a null-alumina catalyst, and more preferably a null-alumina catalyst impregnated with transition metals, including, but not limited to, Ag, In and Sn.
