A reactor comprising a catalyst bed (1) having a central longitudinal axis, which catalyst bed has an upstream surface (2) perpendicular to the central longidutinal axis, and a distribution chamber (4) for directing a gaseaous mixture of reactants to the upstream surface (2) of the catalyst bed (1), which distribution chamber (4) has an inlet (5) for tangentially introducing the mixture into the distribution chamber (4), the distribution chamber (4) being defined by the upstream surface (2) of the catalyst bed (1), a sife surface (6) having a central longitudinal axis that coincides with the central longitudinal axis of the catalyst bed (1), and a covering surface (7) formed such that the distance between the upstream surface (2) of the catalyst bed (1) and the covering surface (7) is monotonically decreasing towards the central longitudinal axis. The invention further relates to a fuel cell system comprising such a reactor and a fuel cell and to a process for the catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbonaceous fuel using such a reactor.

Réacteur comprenant un lit de catalyseur (1) possédant un axe central longitudinal, ledit lit de catalyseur possédant une surface amont (2) perpendiculaire à l'axe central longitudinal et une chambre de distribution (4) pour diriger un mélange gazeux de réactifs vers la surface amont (2) du lit de catalyseur (1), ladite chambre de distribution (4) comportant une entrée (5) pour introduire de façon tangentielle le mélange dans la chambre de distribution (4), la chambre de distribution (4) étant délimitée par la surface amont (2) du lit de catalyseur (1), une surface latérale (6) possédant un axe central longitudinal qui coïncide avec l'axe central longitudinal du lit de catalyseur (1) et une surface de couverture (7) formée de manière à ce que la distance entre la surface amont (2) du lit de catalyseur (1) et la surface de couverture (7) décroisse de façon stable vers l'axe central longitudinal. L'invention concerne également une pile à combustible telle qu'un réacteur et une pile à combustible ainsi qu'un processus pour l'oxydation catalytique du carburant hydrocarboné au moyen de ce réacteur.
