A novel coolant subsystem for use in a fuel processor is provided. A coolant subsystem used in a fuel processor is separate from a supply path to a processor reactor and is capable of circulating a coolant through the processor reactor. . The fuel processor components are housed in a cabinet, and the coolant subsystem 102 can cool both the processor reactor 106 and the interior of the cabinet. The fuel processor 112 can be used to reform the fuel 104 for the fuel cell power plant and / or can be used to provide thermal control to an unrelated mechanical system. [Selection] Figure 1 |
