The heat passage bed that constitutes adjacent segments 7 absorbs heat from the reformed gas of leaving pyroreaction section 6, to cool off the gas that has transformed.Heat passage bed is made of the particle of filling, and this particle is as the ceramic particle for having good thermal conductivity.
Can cancel heat passage bed in some cases.For example, adopt high temperature transfer catalyst bed 8, perhaps adopt high temperature transfer catalyst bed 8 and low temperature shift catalyst bed 9 simultaneously, constitute adjacent segments 7 of the present invention.
The bottom of the mixed catalyst bed 4 in inner core 2, adjacent segments 7, high temperature transfer catalyst bed 8 and low temperature shift catalyst bed 9 is by its relevant ventilative supporting 10,11,12 and 13 supportings.
The spout part 1515 that oxygen-containing gas input section 5 has an input channel 14 and opens wide near input channel 14 front ends.Oxygen-containing gas can be an air or oxygen.For example, the pressurized air of air compressor (not shown) supply is delivered to input channel 14, can spray into mixed catalyst bed 4 to pressurized air by spout part 1515.
A steam reforming catalysts bed 16 is positioned at the top of urceolus 3 inside, and a heat passage bed 17 abuts against under the steam reforming catalysts bed 16.The bottom of steam reforming catalysts bed 16 and heat passage bed 17 is by its relevant ventilative supporting 18 and 19 supportings.The supply section 20 of gas-gas raw material and vapour mixture abuts against under the heat passage bed 17.A discharge section 21 is open on the steam reforming catalysts bed 16, and discharge section 21 is connected with supply section 22 on being positioned at pyroreaction section 6 then.In the bottom of inner core 2, a discharge section 23 that is used to discharge institute's production reformed gas abuts against under the low temperature shift catalyst bed 9.
Need remain on high temperature range to the internal temperature of pyroreaction section 6, so that carry out steam reforming reaction effectively.For this reason, should reduce unnecessary thermodiffusion as far as possible.In order to reach minimizing of thermodiffusion, isolation section 24 with hollow parts is between inner core 2 parts of laying pyroreaction section 6 and urceolus 3 parts of laying steam reforming catalysts bed 16.
Figure 14 has represented a part enlarged view that comprises isolation section 24.Isolation section 24 has an endless inner wall part 25 and a ring-type outer wall section 26.Endless inner wall part 25 is combined with ring-type outer wall section 26 in top and the bottom by relevant sidewall 27 respectively, portion has formed a ring-type hollow parts 28 within it.Inner wall section 25 is parts of inner core 2.
The method that adopts above-mentioned steam reformer 1 to carry out steam reforming is below described.When gas-gas raw material and steam mixture being delivered to supply section 20, because high temperature transfer catalyst bed 8 and low temperature shift catalyst bed 9 is heat passage, gas-gas raw material and vapour mixture are in the temperature that increased it at 17 o'clock by heat passage.Pyritous gas-gas raw material and vapour mixture enter steam reforming catalysts bed 16 then, and a part of there gas-gas raw material stands steam reforming.The gas that has transformed and remaining gas-gas raw material and vapour mixture enter inner core 2 from discharge section 21, enter pyroreaction section 6 by the supply section 22 in the inner core 2.
In pyroreaction section 6, exist under the oxide catalyst condition that constitutes mixed catalyst bed 4, some gas-gas raw material stands the oxidizing reaction from oxygen in the oxygen-containing gas of oxygen-containing gas input section 5 in the gas of inflow-gas raw material and the vapour mixture.Oxidizing reaction is increased to the required scope of conversion reaction to the temperature of gas-gas raw material and vapour mixture, for example from about 650 ℃ to about 750 ℃ (being generally about 700 ℃).That is to say, realized autoxidation and inner heating.Utilize the heat that so produces, carry out the steam reforming reaction of gas-gas raw material and vapour mixture, produce rich hydrogen reformed gas with good efficiency.Exactly, in pyroreaction section 6, carry out exothermic oxidation reaction and endothermic conversion reaction simultaneously, in pyroreaction section 6, keep uniform temperature to distribute thus.The effect of the steam reforming catalysts bed 16 in the urceolus 3 is preliminary conversion zones as pyroreaction section 6.
The reformed gas that obtains in pyroreaction section 6 enters near the adjacent segments 7 below it, and the temperature of reformed gas reduces there, and by high temperature transfer catalyst bed 8 and low temperature shift catalyst bed 9.During by high temperature transfer catalyst bed 8 and low temperature shift catalyst bed 9, most of carbon monoxide of staying in the reformed gas are converted into hydrogen.Leave the high purity reformed gas of low temperature shift catalyst bed 9 and discharge, deliver to an input unit (not shown) then, as the fuel cell of vehicle and the fuel cell of domestic power supply from discharge section 23.
As mentioned above, isolation section 24 has suppressed heat diffusion in the pyroreaction section 6 to urceolus 3.However, shown in arrow A among Figure 14, the heat in the pyroreaction section 6 is diffused into the downstream side of inner core 2 from the inner wall section 25 of isolation section 24, perhaps is diffused into adjacent segments 7, in addition, a part of heat also is diffused into the outer wall section 26 of isolation section 24 from inner wall section 25 by sidewall sections 27.The result is that the heat energy that heating pyroreaction section 6 is consumed increases, and has reduced the thermo-efficiency and the reaction efficiency of steam reformer 1.
Therefore, owing to only can not fully suppress from pyroreaction section 6 to adjacent segments 7 or the thermodiffusion of oxygen-containing gas input channel 14 by isolation section shown in Figure 14 24, it is not enough improving the thermo-efficiency of steam reformer 1 and the effect of reaction efficiency.

According to this embodiment, two heat passage and suppressors 50 thermodiffusion are installed are suppressed from pyroreaction section 6 to adjacent segments 7 heat passage and thermodiffusion.One of them heat passage and thermodiffusion suppressor 50 is made of opening portion 30, and it forms ring-type in the bottom of the inner wall section 25 that constitutes isolation section 24.
The suppressor 50 of another heat passage and thermodiffusion is made of dead level.That is to say, prepared from the inwardly outstanding annular support spare 41 in the lower end of inner wall section 25, and in the face of the supporting member 41 annular support spare 42 outwards outstanding from cylindrical shell 40a lower end, the annular gas permeable supporting 10 of being made by punch metal and so on is supported on supporting member 41 and 42.The bottom of mixed catalyst bed 4 in the pyroreaction section 6 is supported in supporting 10, and the adjacent segments 7 that is made of heat passage bed is positioned at its downstream side (Fig. 9 bottom).Therefore, the dead level 40 that constitutes heat passage suppressor 50 is formed between mixed catalyst bed 4 bottom surfaces and adjacent segments 7 end faces.
Like this, this embodiment has three heat passage suppressors: i.e. cylindrical shell 40a, opening portion 30 and dead level 33.Because the optimum synergistic effect of these three heat passage suppressors 50, the utmost point has suppressed the thermodiffusion from pyroreaction section 6 to the neighboring area effectively.In some cases, can cancel any one of opening portion 30 and dead level 40.
Embodiment shown in Figure 9 has opening portion 30a, and it is in the flange shape extension between inner wall section 25 top margins and outer wall section 26 top margins short slit to be set and to form, and inner and outer wall has partly constituted isolation section 24.The effect of opening portion 30a is to suppress heat passage from the top margin of inner wall section 25 to outer wall section 26, and opening portion 30a can cancel in some cases.
Figure 10 is the modification of Fig. 9.The difference of this embodiment and Fig. 9 example only is heat passage suppressor 50, and other parts have the configuration similar to Fig. 9.The tubular thermofin 43a that covers input channel 14 outsides has constituted heat passage suppressor 50.The inorganic fibers as glass fibre with thermal resistance and heat-insulating properties is configured as a tubular, inserts along the neighboring of input channel 14 then, constitute thermofin 43a thus.
Similar in appearance to the example of Fig. 9, the top of thermofin 43a extends to the top of input channel 14, perhaps directly abut against under the spout part 15, and its bottom extends to the position, base that constitutes isolation section 24 inner wall section 25.Similar in appearance to the example of Fig. 9, the ventilative supporting plate 10 of ring-type is supported on the annular support spare 41 that is positioned at inner wall section 25 bases, and is supported on the annular support spare that is positioned at input channel 14 neighborings 42 in the face of supporting member 41.But, because the inner peripheral surface of supporting plate 10 contact with the periphery of thermofin 43a, and owing to it does not directly contact with input channel 14, suppressed effectively to pass through supporting plate 10 from mixed catalyst bed 4 to input channel 14 heat passage.
Figure 11 is another embodiment of steam reformer of the present invention.This embodiment is characterised in that: the wall that contacts with catalyst bed in the steam reformer 1 is designed to a specific shape.Specific shape goes for the inner core 2 of the various embodiments described above and the wall of urceolus 3.
Figure 11 has represented the example of interior perimeter surface of the pyroreaction section 6 of inner core 2, is configured as specific shape.Be arranged in catalyst particle 44a (mixture of steam reforming catalysts particle and the oxidation catalyst particles) formation of the mixed catalyst bed 4 of pyroreaction section 6 by close packing.At least the internal surface 2a that contacts with mixed catalyst bed 4 in inner core 2 is a corrugated surface 45, and it is by equally spaced forming countless pits by two-dimensional model and making.The a part of neighboring that constitutes the granules of catalyst 44a of mixed catalyst bed 4 contacts with inner surface portion 2a, makes granules of catalyst enter ripple.
Each pit on the corrugated surface 45 has identical radius-of-curvature, and the size of preparation radius-of-curvature equals the catalyzer 44a particulate radius-of-curvature of even granulation, and perhaps size is a bit larger tham (for example several percentage points) catalyzer 44a particulate radius-of-curvature.In general, be known catalyzer by the used steam reforming catalysts of granulation preparation, oxide catalyst, transfer catalyst and so on, the pit that prepared corrugated surface 45 has, its radius-of-curvature is consistent with the granules of catalyst diameter of preparation.
Figure 12 has represented the synoptic diagram of the amplification profile of contact condition between catalyzer 44a and the corrugated surface 45.As mentioned above, because each pit formation has the essentially identical radius-of-curvature with granules of catalyst 44a on the corrugated surface 45, it is surface contact state that the granules of catalyst 44a that contacts with inner core 2 internal surface 2a is arranged to each pit.Therefore, the hole B that forms between internal surface 2a and granules of catalyst 44a becomes very little, and hole B is substantially equal to second row and follow-up row goes up the hole C that forms between the close mutually granules of catalyst 44a thus.
As mentioned above, when hole B and hole C became mutually much at one, blended catalyst bed 4 had hole part fully uniformly, and it allows that gas-gas raw material and vapour mixture keep mobile uniformly, and does not produce the separated flow pattern.The result is, at the gas-gas raw material by mixed catalyst bed 4 and become evenly the duration of contact between vapour mixture and the catalyzer, it has caused the raising of reaction efficiency in the pyroreaction section 6.In addition, because granules of catalyst 44a can load into the tightst filling of ideal, can load the granules of catalyst 44a quantity that further increases in same space, it has also improved reaction efficiency.
In case the hole B between granules of catalyst 44a and internal surface 2a reduces, the amount corresponding to hole B reduces increases to the heat passage and thermodiffusion of outside by internal surface 2a.But, suppress the increase of heat passage and thermodiffusion by heat passage suppressor 50.Therefore, according to having the shape that above-mentioned heat passage and embodiment thermodiffusion suppressor 50 makes up wall, can suppress the decline of thermo-efficiency effectively, and keep high reaction efficiency.
Above embodiment has described the internal surface 2a of inner core 2, and this internal surface 2a contacts with mixed catalyst bed 4.But, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, the present invention also can similarly be applicable to the internal surface of the urceolus 3 that contacts with steam reforming catalysts bed 16, perhaps is applicable to the internal surface 2a of the inner core 2 that contacts with low temperature shift catalyst bed 9 with high temperature transfer catalyst bed 8.
