Process for the partial oxidation of fuels and the device for applying said process

PROCESS FOR THE PARTIAL OXIDATION OF FUELS of the type comprising an oxidation-reduction reaction of an incoming fluid characterised in that:

• 1. In a first step the incoming fluid (4) comprising fluid fuel (9) and oxidising fluid (10) are introduced into the device and when they arrive in the main body (2) they enter tangentially to the ionised gas stream (5) starting a vortex with the incoming fluid (4).
• 2. In a second step said vortex starts to circulate along the photo-reactor through the space existing between the fixed bed (7) and the circulating bed (6).
• 3. In a third step, since the vortex circulates with the incoming fluid (4), the outer edge thereof collides with the fixed bed (7), which comprises a catalyst, whereas the inner edge thereof collides with the molecules of the circulating bed (6), thus taking on the characteristics of a fluid that circulates in a spiral with expansive turbulence.
• 4. In a fourth step, the spiralling fluid with expansive turbulence induces the rotation of the circulating bed (6) thus forming a single mixed gas that is highly ionised and with homogeneous molecular distribution, called the mixed gas.
• 5. In a fifth step the mixed gas absorbs the intense heat of the ionised gas stream existing in the circulating bed, with an oxidation-reduction chemical reaction taking place in said mixed gas, producing the gas obtained.
