CA 2492547

A reactor vessel (10) for catalytic reforming of air and steam-fuel mix into a hydrogen rich output gas is designed to relevant pressure code requirements. The steam-fuel mix (26) and/or air (20) provided to the vessel (10) may be internally pre-heated prior to contacting the catalyst. Reformate (22) is selectively directed into a recuperator (40) to accomplish such heating. A bypass valve (24) to divert reformate around the recuperator (40) is also provided to allow control of the reaction conditions. Notably, this control may be performed manually or by way of an automated system. The resulting vessel enhances the safety an performance of the vessel (10), and it is move easily integrated into a complete fuel processor system.

Une cuve de r~acteur pour le reformage catalytique de l'air et d'un m~lange de vapeur-carburant en gaz de sortie riche en hydrog­ne, est con×u selon des exigences uniformes de pressions appropri~es. Ledit m~lange de carburant/vapeur et/ou l'air envoy~ ~ la cuve peut Útre pr~-chauff~ en interne avant qu'il soit mis en contact avec le catalyseur. Le reformat est envoy~ s~lectivement dans un r~cup~rateur pour Útre chauff~. Une soupape de d~rivation con×ue pour d~river le reformat, de mani­re qu'il contourne le r~cup~rateur est ~galement pr~vue afin de permettre la modulation des conditions de r~action. En particulier, cette modulation peut s'effectuer manuellement ou au moyen d'un syst­me automatis~. La cuve r~sultante est plus sÛre et plus performante et est plus facilement int~grable dans un syst­me de processeur de carburant complet. Un proc~d~ permettant d'atteindre ces buts est ~galement d~crit.
