Title:
AUTO-THERMAL REFORMING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/124450
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an auto-thermal reforming apparatus that can minimize the formation of hot spots inside a reaction tube during hydrogen production using an auto-thermal reforming reaction, and thereby enhance the efficiency of hydrogen production. The apparatus comprises: the reaction tube, which is pipe shaped and extends in one direction; a heat transfer member longitudinally passing through the reaction tube; a catalyst which is charged into the reaction tube and reacts with a raw material injected into the reaction tube, thereby producing hydrogen; a pair of inner caps which are coupled to the inside of both ends of the heat transfer member, respectively, and support the heat transfer member so that the heat transfer member is spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the reaction tube; a first outer cap which is coupled to one end of the reaction tube to surround same, and has an injection port for supplying the raw material and air into the reaction tube; and a second outer cap which is coupled to the other end of the reaction tube to surround same, and has a discharge port for discharging the hydrogen produced in the reaction tube.
