ABSTRACT:
The vessel is a fuel/steam reformer which has an annular chamber containing a catalyst bed. The annular chamber is surrounded by a heating zone and heat pipes from the heating zone extend through the interior of the catalyst bed whereby the catalyst is concurrently heated from inside and outside of the bed. A burner is positioned coaxially of the annular chamber to supply the required heat. Raw fuel is fed into a vaporizing chamber below the catalyst bed and after vaporization, rises through the catalyst bed for conversion to a hydrogen rich fuel gas. The fuel gas is collected in a chamber above the catalyst bed. The device is particularly useful for compact methanol fuel cell power plants.
