Patent ID: 7883555

Claim:
A fuel reforming system comprising: a catalytic chamber containing a catalyst adjacent a heating chamber; at least one heat exchanger adjacent the heating chamber, the at least one heat exchanger being distributed along an outer surface of the catalytic chamber and includes at least one continuous portion and at least one segmented portion; an inlet and exit port in communication with the catalytic chamber; liquid fuel in communication with an inlet port; gaseous fuel in communication with an exit port, whereby the molecular composition of the liquid fuel entering the inlet port is the same as the molecular composition of the gaseous fuel exiting the exit port; an end cap for encapsulating an end of the catalytic chamber and the heat exchanger, the end cap further including one of the inlet and exit ports; and wherein the catalytic chamber is at least partially surrounded by the heat exchanger, the catalytic chamber and heat exchanger being hermetically sealed from each other.
