Publication number: 20060102493Abstract: The invention relates to a device which is used to produce hydrogen from a hydrocarbon, obtaining high energy efficiency and generating low levels of carbon dioxide and pollutants. The inventive device comprises (a) a conversion reactor which is used to convert the aforementioned hydrocarbons using water vapour. According to the invention, pure or almost pure oxygen is fed into the reactor in order to oxidize one part of the hydrocarbons and to provide the heat necessary to convert virtually all of the other part of the hydrocarbons into hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The device also comprises: (b) means of pre-heating the hydrocarbons, the oxygen flow and the water to be vaporized; (c) at least one heat exchanger which is used to cool the conversion product in order to recovery a fraction of the thermal energy of said conversion product; and (d) hydrogen-enrichment equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2003Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Didier Grouset, Philippe Marty, Jean-Christopher Hoguet

Patent number: 5415529Abstract: The electromagnetic machine (1) includes a tubular duct (3 ) intended to receive a conducting material which can circulate in the duct (3) around the core (4) and an inductor (2) arranged coaxially around the duct (3). The inductor (2) includes a magnetic circuit (15) formed by laminated sheet metal combs (18) and windings (14 ) arranged in annular notches (5 ) made in the magnetic circuit (15). The notches (5) are separated from each other by teeth. The teeth of the inductor have lengths in the axial direction which are smaller in the central part of the inductor (2) than in the end parts. The notches (5) are less deep at the ends than in the central part and enclose windings having a smaller number of turns. The windings (14) are each connected to one phase of a polyphase current source.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1993Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignee: FramatomeInventors: Laurent Le Boucher, Dominique Villani, Philippe Marty
