Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the pressure variation of the reforming gas supplied to a combustion battery, by providing a catalytic combustion device having the holes of combustion gas flow passages along the inner side wall of a case-shaped furnace body and embedding a vaporizer communicating with the outside in said combustion device. CONSTITUTION:When the high temp. exhaust gas from a fuel battery 1 passes a fuel supply pipe 31 and combustion air passes through a combustion air supply pipe 32 to flow in a catalytic combustion device 26, said gaseous mixture passes through a large number of holes 27. At this time, the gaseous mixture is oxidized and burnt on the inner wall surfaces of the holes 27 in the presence of the catalyst supported by the wall surfaces of the holes 27 to generate heat, and this heat is conducted through the molded body of the catalytic combustion device 26 to be transferred to the vaporizer 29 embedded in the molded body. As a result, the liquid fuel of the reforming raw material supplied to the vaporizer 29 to flow therethrough is vaporized to become raw material gas. The raw material gas is reformed to gas rich in hydrogen by a reforming device 7 to become reforming gas which is, in turn, supplied to the fuel battery 1.

FIG. 2 is a system diagram of a conventional fuel cell power generation system of this type. In the figure, l is a fuel chamber, 2 is a fuel tank containing liquid fuel such as alcohol, which is a raw material for reforming,
A fuel reformer f3 is interposed in the fuel supply line between the fuel tank 2 and the fuel cell 1. Such a fuel reformer 3 includes a vaporizer 6 for gasifying liquid fuel in a combustion chamber of a furnace vessel 5 equipped with a burner 4, and a reformer for reforming the fuel gas into hydrogen-rich gas through a catalytic reaction with a catalyst. 7, the off-gas discharged from the fuel cell 1 is supplied to the burner 4 and burned in the furnace, and the heat of the heat medium consisting of the insect-repelling flame and combustion gas is used in the vaporizer 6. The liquid fuel is vaporized to form a raw material gas, and this raw material gas is reformed in a reformer 7.

By the way, when operating a fuel cell, it is extremely important to keep the supply pressures of air as a reaction gas and fuel gas supplied to the fuel cell main body constant and balanced in order to prevent shortening of the life of the cell main body. That's true. For this purpose, it is necessary to always keep the supply pressure of the fuel gas supplied to the fuel cell main body through the fuel reformer of the fuel gas supply system constant.

Generally, when a liquid fuel is gasified, a large latent heat of vaporization is required, and the fuel undergoes a large volume change as it is gasified. On the other hand, if the configuration of the conventional reformer is maintained, in which the vaporizer 6 is simply piped into the combustion chamber of the furnace vessel 5 and the vaporizer 6 is heated by the heat of the combustion gas, the heat capacity of the vaporizer portion is comparatively low. The target is small. For this reason, it is difficult to constantly and stably replenish the large droplet heat of vaporization required for gasifying liquid fuel from the furnace side to the entire area of the vaporizer. The locations and regions where the fuel liquid is vaporized constantly fluctuate within the vaporizer, such as a local temperature drop due to deprivation of fuel, which causes the fuel gas delivered from the vaporizer outlet to change. Causes pressure fluctuations.

To this end, in the conventional fuel cell system, a throttle 10 is installed in the fuel scum supply system on the outlet side of the reformer 3 as shown in FIG. 2 to reduce pressure fluctuations in the fuel gas supplied to the fuel cell 1. A method has been adopted to reduce the size. However, this method of inserting the throttle 10 into the system significantly increases the pressure inside the reformer 3, which is not preferable in terms of pressure resistance. Another solution is the reformer 3.
A method has also been attempted in which a buffer tank (not shown) exclusively for reformed gas is installed between the fuel cell 1 and the fuel cell 1 to suppress fluctuations in the gas pressure supplied to the fuel cell 1; Installing a buffer tank has the disadvantage of increasing the size of the entire system.

In addition, a flame burner or a catalytic burner is used as the combustor in the fuel reformer as described above, but in either case, the burner is installed separately from the carburetor, so there is no possibility of turbulence in the flame or combustion gas from the burner. Since heat cannot be stably applied to the vaporizer due to the above-mentioned factors, there is also the drawback that pressure fluctuations are likely to occur due to the latent heat of vaporization of the liquid.

The catalyst supported on the inner wall surface of the opening n oxidizes, that is, burns, and generates heat on the inner wall surface. This heat is conducted through the molded body of the catalytic combustor and transferred to the vaporizer 29 embedded in the molded body. As a result, the reforming raw material liquid fuel supplied to the vaporizer 629 and flowing backward is vaporized and becomes raw material gas. The combustion gas passes through the numerous holes υ of the catalytic combustor, passes through the combustion chamber, the gas exhaust pipe, and heats the aforementioned reformer. Therefore, the raw material gas produced in the vaporizer is reformed into a hydrogen-rich gas in the reformer, and the reformed gas is supplied to the fuel cell.

Further, by providing a large number of hole moss in the molded body of the catalytic combustor 26, combustion gas flows through a large number of holes n, so that pressure loss is small.
