REFORMING APPARATUS AND REFORMING METHOD

Title:

REFORMING APPARATUS AND REFORMING METHOD

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2002012404

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide a desired uniform mixture of a raw fuel and water at a certain ratio in conducting steam reforming reaction by using hydrophobic liquid hydrocarbon as a raw fuel.

Gasoline stored in a gasoline tank 20 and water stored in a water tank 24 are supplied each through a certain flow passage to an agitator 30, mixed uniformly there, evaporated in an evaporator 32, and then reacted for reforming in a reformer 34. Before agitation, ethanol stored in an ethanol tank 22 is added to gasoline supplied to the agitator 30. Since gasoline and water are mixed together with ethanol, the mixture is kept under a fully uniform condition during evaporation in the evaporator 32.
