Abstract: An evaporator arrangement and/or vaporizing burner is provided for generating a hydrocarbon vapor/mixed material mixture. The arrangement has a mixing chamber (50) surrounded by a circumferential wall area (46) and a bottom wall area (44). Inlet openings (48) are provided in the circumferential wall area (46) for the entry of gaseous mixed material into the mixing chamber (50) and the bottom wall area (44) has a porous evaporator medium (62) for absorbing liquid hydrocarbon. A first heating device (76) is associated with the porous evaporator medium (62). A second heating device (94) heats the mixed material before or/and during its passage through the inlet openings (48).

Abstract: A process for the utilization of a fuel having an initial boiling temperature or prevailing initial boiling temperature range at 1 bar of between 231 K and 830 K, characterized by the following features: (a) the fuel is contacted with at least one oxidant preheated to from 520 K to 880 K at a pressure, p, of ≧1 bar, or at a lower pressure with a reduction of the temperature range, and a C/O molar ratio of between 1:0.
