Abstract:
1. A fuel processor comprising: a. a housing containing a nozzle, whereby the nozzle is adapted to mix fuel and air within the confines of the nozzle; b. a heating surface adapted to heat and oxidize the mixed fuel; c. a reforming catalyst, whereby the fuel heating surface is positioned intermediate said nozzle and catalyst, and comprises passageways for the heat and heated fuel to pass through to contact the catalyst; d. water-gas reaction zones positioned downstream from said reforming catalyst; e. a heat exchanger positioned up stream of each water gas reaction zone; and f. mixing zones present between said water-gas reaction zones and said heat exchangers wherein the mixing zones provide a means to mix air with reformate gas generated in said water-gas reaction zones.
