Abstract: A fast start-up catalytic reformer for producing hydrogen-rich reformate from hydrocarbon fuel includes a reactor having an inlet for receiving a flow of fuel and a flow of air, a reforming catalyst disposed within a reforming chamber in the reactor, and an outlet for discharging the produced reformate stream. An ignition device within the reactor tube ignites a first lean mixture in combustion mode to generate exhaust gases to warm the catalyst which also warms the wall of the reactor adjacent the catalyst. The reactor then switches over to a rich fuel/air mixture during reforming mode. A jacket concentrically surrounds the reactor, defining a mixing chamber therebetween which communicates with the reforming chamber via openings in the wall of the reactor. Fuel entering the reformer in combustion mode is injected directly into the reforming chamber to provide rapid warming of the catalyst.

The assembly further includes a heat exchanger that straddles the reformer such that gases entering and leaving the reformer pass through opposite sides of the heat exchanger. A combustor ahead of the heat exchanger includes a first fuel injector and igniter. A fuel/air mixture may be either ignited at start-up to quickly heat both sides of the heat exchanger, the reactor, and the reformer, or passed into the reactor for reforming at steady state. A second fuel injector may be provided in the reactor. The two fuel injectors may have overlapping flow ranges and may be used separately or in tandem to provide a broad range of reformate flow.
