摘要：
A fuel processor was constructed which incorporated two burners with direct steam generation by water injection into the burner exhaust. These burners with direct water vaporization enabled rapid fuel processor start-up for automotive fuel cell systems. The fuel processor consisted of a conventional chain of reactors: auto-thermal reformer (ATR), water gas shift (WIGS) reactor and preferential oxidation (PrOx) reactor. The criticality of steam to the fuel reforming process was illustrated. By utilizing direct vaporization of water, and hydrogen for catalyst light-off, excellent start performance was obtained with a start time of 20 s to 30% power and 140 s to full power.
