  • Integrated catalyst-heat exchanger and method of oxidizing carbon monoxide in a hydrogen reformer of a vehicle fuel cell system
    Publication number: 20040126297
    Abstract: The present invention involves a system and method of oxidizing carbon monoxide in a preferential oxidizer for a hydrogen reformer of a fuel cell system for vehicular and stationary applications. The method includes providing a heat exchange system of the preferential oxidizer, wherein the heat exchange system has a single integrated oxidation reaction region in which an oxidation catalyst is disposed for oxidizing carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. The method further includes introducing a hydrogen-rich reformate to the heat exchange system, wherein the hydrogen-rich reformate is at a predetermined temperature and has a first content of carbon monoxide. The method further includes injecting oxygen to the hydrogen-rich reformate, wherein the oxygen is at a predetermined stoichiometric oxygen/carbon monoxide ratio.
