Design and Evaluation of Diesel Reforming Technology

摘要

The separation of the evaporation from the catalytic reforming process is crucial for fuel processing. Unfavourable mixtures lead to degradation by local hot spots in the sensitive catalysts and formation of unwanted by-products. Cool flames offer a complete and residue-free evaporation of liquid hydrocarbon mixtures. The conditions whether cool flames can be stabilised or not is related to the heat management of the vaporizer. To this examinations were conducted in a flow reactor to investigate stable cool flame operation under reformer conditions. A validation of the vaporizer is examined in combination with an autothermal reforming process.
