  • Patent number: 7357820
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for converting fuel and air into reformate with a reformer which has a reaction space, a nozzle for supplying a fuel/air mixture to the reaction space, and a fuel feed for supplying fuel to the nozzle. In the invention, the air inlet area of the nozzle is provided with air guidance means which impart a swirl to the in-flowing air.

  • Patent number: 7357821
    Abstract: A system for converting fuel and air into reformate with a reformer which has a reaction space, a nozzle for supplying a fuel/air mixture to the reaction space, and a fuel feed for supplying fuel to the nozzle (14). The nozzle is a Venturi nozzle with an air inlet area and a diffusor area which extends downstream with respect to the air inlet area.

  • Patent number: 7011179
    Abstract: An arrangement having an auxiliary heater, a catalytic converter (12) for catalytic post-combustion of exhaust gas from the heater, a muffler (14) for damping of the noise caused by the exhaust gas, and an exhaust line for removing exhaust gas from the auxiliary heater. In order especially to devise an auxiliary heater in which the muffler and the catalytic converter can be installed relatively easily, the muffler (14) and the catalytic converter (12) are combined in sing module (10) that can be located on the exhaust line.

  • Patent number: 5993191
    Abstract: A heater, especially a motor vehicle heater which can be operated independently of the engine, with a burner which is supplied with fuel and air via a binary nozzle (2), a combustion chamber (1), and a multistage compressor (3, 4) for compressing the air. The entire mass flow of air necessary for combustion in the combustion chamber (1) is sent to at least one first compressor stage (3) for compression to a first pressure level, and the air mass flow compressed in this way is divided into a first component flow supplied directly to the combustion chamber (1), and a second component flow which is compressed in at least one second compressor stage (4) to a second pressure level and sent to the binary nozzle (2) as the fuel atomization air mass flow.
