Abstract
A plate reformer has a pair of combustion chambers, a reforming chamber in between the combustion chambers, and heat transfer plates sandwiched between the reforming chamber and the combustion chambers. The reforming chamber includes an inlet end for introduction of reforming gas and an outlet end for emission of reformed gas. The combustion chamber includes an inlet end for introduction of air and fuel and an outlet end for emission of combusted gas. A gas permeable partition wall is provided in the reforming chamber to partition it into a reforming reaction section having the inlet end and a heat exchange section having the outlet end. A gas permeable partition wall is provided in each combustion chamber to partition each into a combustion reaction section having the inlet end and a heat exchange section having the outlet end. The inlet end of the combustion chamber is aligned to the outlet end of the reforming chamber and the inlet end of the reforming chamber is aligned to the outlet end of the combustion chamber. The partition walls of the reforming chamber and the combustion chamber are provided such that they are approximately lined up and thus the reforming reaction section…
