Integrated liquid fuel catalyzing part oxidation (CPOX) reformer (401) and fuel cell system (467) may include the array of multiple CPOX reactor units (408) separated or the CPOX reactor units (408) separated, each reactor unit (408) includes the extension tubing with the gas permeability wall for possessing the inner surface and the outer surface, and the wall seals open gas channel and CPOX catalyst is disposed therein and/or is included its structure by least part of the wall.The wall construction comprising catalyst and the gas channel of the opening sealed by it limit gas phase CPOX reaction zones (409), the wall section comprising catalyst be gas permeability to allow, gaseous state CPOX reaction mixtures are spread wherein and product reformate object rich in hydrogen is from its diffusion.The liquid fuel CPOX reformers may also include gasifier (415), one or more igniter (435) and the reformable fuel of liquid source.The reformate rich in hydrogen can be converted into electric power in the cell of fuel cell integrated with the liquid fuel CPOX reactor units. |
