Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a device for reforming educts containing hydrocarbons, having a radiation burner and a reforming reactor, which contains, at least in part, metal honeycomb bodies having a catalyst coating, and which can in particular be used to produce hydrogen from fossil energy carriers. The invention should thereby be able to convert educts containing hydrocarbons into synthesis gases with high efficiency, in particular in a low-power range. For this purpose, a radiation burner is used that heats a two-part reforming reactor by radiation and convection. The radiation burner and the two parts of the reforming reactor are thereby arranged and constructed in such a way that the radiation burner surrounds the two parts of the reforming reactor, and the educt gas and smoke gas can be conducted in counter-current between the two parts of the reforming reactor.
A device for reforming educts containing hydrocarbons, having comprising a radiation burner and a reforming reactor into which the educt gas is introduced, wherein the reforming reactor is made up of a first part and a second part, the radiation burner surrounds the reforming reactor and heats the reforming reactor by radiation and convection, wherein the first part of the reforming reactor is fashioned as an annular-gap reactor surrounding the second part fashioned as a tube reactor and wherein smoke gas is conducted between the two reforming reactors parts in counter-current to the educt gas, and the reforming reactor contains, at least in part, metal honeycomb bodies having a catalyst coating.
