Patent EP-1270509-A3 (EP)
Inventor: EPP MARK A
IPC: B01B1/00
Filed: 2002-06-20
Abstract: Systems and methods for accurately calculating a steam-carbon ratio in a
reformer (12) or the like are shown and described. In one embodiment, a control valve (22)
regulates the amount of water entering the process side of a heat exchanger (24) upstream of
the reformer. A steam/process outlet (40) directs steam from the heat exchanger (24) to the
reformer. A level control device (26) operates the control valve to maintain the water at a
constant level. A meter upstream of the heat exchanger measures the amount of water
entering the heat exchanger. By maintaining a constant water level in the process
portion of the heat exchanger, the reading on the meter equates to the amount of steam
directed from the heat exchanger to the reformer or vaporizer. With this reading, the
steam-carbon ratio at the reformer can be accurately counted. In another embodiment
of the present invention, a process gas inlet incorporates an elongated body extending at
least partially through the process portion of the heat exchanger. Openings spaced apart
along the length of the body distribute the process gas along the length of the heat
exchanger. In still another embodiment of the invention, a plurality of dividers is
spaced apart along a width of the process portion of the heat exchanger. The dividers
are positioned to receive the process gas as it rises from the process gas inlet, and to
disperse the process gas along the width of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: Ein resonanter Konverter, ein Regelverfahren für einen resonanten Konverter und ein
Schaltnetzteil mit einem resonanten Konverter werden vorgestellt. Der Konverter umfasst
einen Wechselrichter zur Erzeugung einer Wechselspannung, durch die eine Resonanzanordnung
mit einer Kapazität und einem Transformator gespeist ist. Die Schaltung sieht
zwei Typen von Sekundäreinheiten vor, umfassend jeweils eine Sekundärwicklung des
Transformators und mindestens ein Gleichrichtelement. Sekundäreinheiten ersten und
zweiten Typs unterscheiden sich hierbei durch entgegengesetzte Orientierung, beispielsweise
entgegengesetzte Wicklungsrichtung oder entgegengesetzt orientierte Beschaltung.
Ausgangsseitig werden mindestens zwei Ausgangsspannungen geliefert, von denen eine
erste Ausgangsspannung als direkter Ausgang von einer Sekundäreinheit ersten Typs
gespeist wird und eine zweite Ausgangsspannung als "Stapel-Ausgang" von einer
Sekundäreinheit ersten und einer Sekundäreinheit zweiten Typs gespeist ist, bevorzugt als
Reihen-Schaltung dieser Sekundäreinheiten. Hierbei ist der Stapel-Ausgang zur Lieferung
größerer Leistung, der direkte Ausgang für geringere Ausgangsleistungen ausgelegt. Mit
einer Regeleinrichtung können die beiden Ausgangsspannungen getrennt voneinander
geregelt werden, wobei die Regeleinrichtung die Ansteuerung des Wechselrichters,
bevorzugt zur Lieferung einer pulsweitenmodulierten Spannung, vorgibt. Beispielsweise
durch geeignete Wahl von Frequenz und Tastgrad der pulsweitenmodulierten Spannung
können die Spannungen unabhängig voneinander auf Sollwerte geregelt werden.
