Integrated Evaporator/Burner Device for Automotive Applications 

Both channel systems fabricated by EDM were 35 mm long, 300 pm wide and 500 pm deep. An alternative design was developed for methane combustion, where a sintered metal plate served as flame arrestor. The device had a size of 50 mm x 50 mm x 10 mm. For a cooling water flow rate of 1.32 g s-1, heat fluxes up to 28 W cm-2 were achieved at a combustion efficiency of 82%. The best combustion efficiency of 91% was achieved at a heat flux of 6 W cm-2. NOx emissions of the system were determined to range between 5 and 15 ppm. 

Combined System of Integrated Relbrmer/Heat Exchanger and Evaporator/Heat Exchanger Devices for Automotive Applications 

The reformers achieved up to 98.6% conversion at a reaction temperature of750 °C, an S/C ratio of three and a product composition of 70.6% H2,14.6% CO, 13.7% C02 and 0.9% CH4. Doubling the reformate output was claimed to be feasible in 20 s. The reformate generated was sufficient to feed a 13.7 kW PEM fuel cell. An overall efficiency of 44% of the system was calculated assuming 90% conversion and 100% selectivity for the water-gas shift reaction and 54% overall efficiency for the fuel cell.
