Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for vaporising and reforming liquid fuels, in particular the catalytic and non-catalytic partial oxidation and the autothermal reforming of liquid fuels with addition of air- or air-vapour mixtures or air-water mixtures.
  • the invention thereby solves the problems of the mixture formation, soot formation and conversion into low hydrocarbons and hydrogen in conjunction with reforming methods known from the state of the art.
  • An important object of each system for mixture preparation for reforming liquid fuels is to ensure homogeneous mixing of fuel and oxidants before the actual reforming under all operating conditions.
  • a spatial separation of the vaporising and the mixing zone from the actual reforming zone is advantageous.
  • numerous methods from the state of the art are known.
  • a reforming device in which a hydrocarbon-air-vapour mixture is converted catalytically into a hydrogen-rich product gas.
  • the fuel is thereby injected in liquid form by means of a nozzle into the educt mixture preparation chamber with droplet formation.
  • the method described here cannot ensure over a large range of load states that the educts are mixed homogeneously since, as a result of the nature of the nozzle (also two-material nozzle or three-material nozzle), the droplet size varies greatly with the fuel throughput through the nozzle. As a result, the educts are mixed according to the operating state and hence the droplet size is variably homogeneous.
  • an autothermal reforming reactor which likewise introduces liquid fuels into a reactor with the help of a nozzle, the atomised fuel being partially oxidised after mixing with oxygen and water vapour directly in a catalyst-lined reaction chamber before the vapour reforming begins in a second likewise catalyst-lined reaction chamber.
  • This method also involves the disadvantage that the droplet size varies as a function of the throughput through the reactor so greatly that homogeneous mixing of all educt flows is at present not ensured.
  • a further method is based on the phenomenon of the so-called cold flame for mixture formation. This thereby involves exothermal prereactions which partially convert and vaporise the fuel with heat release. The reaction is restricted to a characteristic temperature because of the kinetic self-limitation, said characteristic temperature being specific for each fuel. Below this characteristic temperature, the self-ignition of the fuel-oxidant mixture can be avoided reliably (see e.g. A. Naidja, C. R. Krishna, T. Butcher, D. Mahajan, Progr. Energy Combustion Science, 29 (2003) 155-191).
  • a method for vaporising and reforming liquid fuels in which, in a first reaction chamber, the fuel is vaporised with the supply of air with the help of a first catalyst and is partially oxidised (as disclosed in EP 0 716 225) and, in a second reaction chamber, the vaporised fuel is mixed with additionally supplied air and subsequently is reformed.
  • a ratio of the air volume supplied in the first reaction chamber to the air volume supplied in the second reaction chamber is hereby adjusted between 30:70 and 70:30.
  • the ratio of the air volume supplied in the first reaction chamber to the air volume supplied in the second reaction chamber is preferably adjusted via distributor structures.
  • a hereby preferred variant provides that the air is supplied via pipelines, the pipelines having opening and/or nozzles and the latter being dimensioned such that the ratio of the air volume supplied in the first reaction chamber to the air volume supplied in the second reaction chamber can be adjusted.
  • Another preferred variant provides that nozzles of porous structures, such as e.g. porous sintered metal bodies, are used as distributor structures.
  • a preferred variant provides that a second catalyst is used in the second reaction chamber during the reforming.
  • catalyst catalytically active noble metals or nickel are used preferably here on ceramic carriers (e.g. honeycomb bodies or packing).
  • ceramic carriers e.g. honeycomb bodies or packing.
  • corresponding carriers made of metal structures e.g. honeycomb bodies, are used.
  • the reforming is effected without a catalyst.
  • the reforming can hereby be effected, in a preferred variant, by partial oxidation.
  • a further preferred embodiment concerns the reforming by autothermal reforming. It is necessary for this purpose that water and/or water vapour are supplied in addition in the second reaction chamber.
  • a packing bed a honeycomb body or coated metal net is used as catalyst for the reforming.
  • the mixing of fuel and supplied air after the first and in the second reaction chamber can be assisted preferably by static mixing devices.
  • a frequently occurring problem during reforming concerns the starting of the method from the cold state. This problem can be resolved in that both reaction chambers and/or both catalysts are preheated to temperatures of 300 to 450° C.
  • FIG. 1 A first variant for vaporising and reforming liquid fuels is represented in FIG. 1 .
  • This is based on a catalytically partial oxidation with the supply of air through a pipe in one step.
  • the method for air supply must thereby be constructed such that the air is introduced in a defined ratio into the first reaction chamber, i.e. the vaporiser, and into the second reaction chamber, i.e. the reformer.
  • the ratio of air introduction into the vaporiser to that into the reformer can be effected by correspondingly dimensioned borings in the pipe.
  • the reactor is divided into the first reaction chamber which has the vaporising catalyst 3 and the reaction chamber with the reforming catalyst 4 .
  • a heating device 5 can be used to preheat the device.
  • the product gas 6 after the reformer subsequently leaves the reactor.
  • the partial oxidation represented here can also be implemented without a catalyst 4 .
  • the catalysts 3 and 4 and the pipe 2 are preheated from the outside for example by a heater.
  • the air supply 1 and the fuel supply 7 are then started.
  • the preheating can be switched off after the beginning of the vaporising and the reforming.
  • the fuel is vaporised and partially oxidised, in the second reaction chamber, the fuel is subsequently reformed with the additional air supply.
  • FIG. 2 shows a device with two separate pipes 2 and 8 for the air supply.
  • the air flows 1 and 9 can be adjusted independently of each other and hence also the ratio of air flows to the vaporiser and reformer.
  • water vapour can also be introduced into the second reaction chamber in addition to air through the second pipe. It is possible as a result to convert the fuel by autothermal reforming.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further variant according to the invention for control of the method.
  • the location of the air supply in the second reaction chamber i.e. the reformer, is variable.
  • the air supply 10 is effected before the second reaction chamber.
  • the air can thereby be introduced through small openings or nozzles in the pipe for the air supply or through porous sintered metal bodies into the reaction chamber.
  • Annular distributor structures are likewise possible.
  • the air supply 12 is effected before the second reaction chamber through a supply disposed on one side.
  • a static mixer is provided in addition, relative to FIG. 3 , as a supplementary variant. This can be before and/or after the air supply and serves to mix the vaporised, partially oxidised fuel with the remaining air and possibly the water vapour.
  • FIG. 5 shows a variant in which the second reaction chamber is separate from the first reaction chamber, both reaction chambers being connected by a pipe with a fairly small diameter.
  • the air supply is likewise effected via a lateral inlet, but it is likewise possible to choose other locations for the air supply.
