The present invention is directed to a fuel reformer device that produces a hydrogen rich gas from a hydrocarbon and steam. A reformer unit receives a supply of a crude fuel gas containing air through a second supply conduit. The crude fuel gas is subjected to a steam reforming reaction and an oxidation reaction proceeding inside the reformer unit. A resulting hydrogen rich gaseous fuel is discharged. The reformer unit includes an upper stream reaction unit and a lower stream reaction unit. The reformer unit is designed to enable the heat generated on the upstream side to be effectively transmitted to the lower stream side. This arrangement thus effectively prevents an excessive temperature rise on the upstream side.

L'invention porte sur un appareil de reformage de combustibles dans lequel est amenée la chaleur nécessaire à la réaction de reformage par la vapeur générant un gaz riche en hydrogène à partir d'hydrocarbures et de vapeur, réaction qui est endothermique, en permettant une réaction d'oxydation exothermique pour procéder au reformage par la vapeur. Ce procédé se caractérise par le fait qu'on empêche la température d'une région dans laquelle se poursuit la réaction exothermique de s'élever exagérément et ceci en 1) augmentant le débit du gaz d'un côté amont, (2) réduisant une quantité du catalyseur dans un côté amont, (3) réalisant l'échange thermique entre l'amont et l'aval ou analogue.
