Liquid fuel catalyzing part oxidation (CPOX) reformer may include the array of multiple CPOX reactor units (408 ') separated or the CPOX reactor units (408 ') separated, each reactor unit (408 ') is included with the extension tubing for possessing inner surface and the gas permeability wall of outer surface, and the wall seals open gas channel and CPOX catalyst is disposed therein and/or included its structure by least a portion of the wall.The wall construction comprising catalyst and gas phase CPOX reaction zones (409 ') are limited by the gas channel of its opening sealed, the wall section comprising catalyst be gas permeability to allow, gaseous state CPOX reactant mixtures spread wherein and product reformate thing rich in hydrogen is from its diffusion.At least outer surface of CPOX reaction zones may include hydrogen obstacle.The liquid fuel CPOX reformers may include the source of gasifier (415 '), one or more igniters (435 ') and the reformable fuel of liquid. |
