COMPACT REACTOR FOR USE IN A HYDROGEN GENERATION/FUEL CELL SYSTEM

摘要

A reactor module (40) having one or more than one heat exchanger (1a and 1b),a chamber block (2) capable of being charged with a catalyst (24), and aplatform are assembled in a unit in which separate fluid flows of reactantsand heat media are directed by manifolds (26) and ducts intrinsically formedin the module (40). Multiple reactor modules (45a and 45b) may beinterconnected to form a further reactor module unit and the interconnectedreactor units may in turn be configured for a large system with a high powerrating.
