Method for starting a fast light-off catalytic fuel reformer

摘要: A method for starting a fast light-off catalytic reformer producing hydrogen-rich reformate fuel from hydrocarbon and air, the having means receiving flows of reforming catalyst air mixture, an ignition device. control system selects flow rates to form lean fuel/air mixture operates device ignite produce hot exhaust gases that over heat first length time. Fuel is then stopped temporarily second time, further terminated. restarted adjusted provide rich which directed heated into fuel. Air may also be in setting and/or mixtures.
