ABSTRACT:
In a reformed gas generator, where evaporated or atomized liquid higher hydrocarbons are reacted with an oxygen containing gas at elevated temperature to form a gas mixture containing methane, carbon monoxide and/or hydrogen, and wherein the reactants to be converted may be heated, if desired, to an elevated input temperature before they are conducted into the reformed gas generator, with throughput of reactants variable; and the air number of the oxygen containing gas between 0.05 and 0.2, a gas containing the oxygen only in free form is used, no external heat is supplied to the reformed-gas generator, and, with changing throughput, the air number and/or the input temperature is controlled so that the degree of conversion of the hydrocarbons is between 60 and 95% to give a method particularly well suited to operate an internal combustion engine with the generated reformed gas.
