Title:
METHODS OF IGNITING A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001020149
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
An energy producing system includes a compressor (12) side for compressing an air/fuel mixture, and a turbine side (14) for producing mechanical, electrical, and/or heat energy, and driving the compressor side. A catalytic combustor (26) is disposed upstream of the turbine side for combusting a steady state air/fuel mixture during steady state operation. During start-up, the catalytic combustor is preheated by being supplied with a preheat air/fuel mixture capable of lighting-off therein at ambient temperature, whereby oxidation of the preheat air/fuel mixture in the catalytic combustor produces heat. The preheat air/fuel mixture is produced on-site, preferably in a reformer (54) which burns natural gas in the presence of insufficient oxygen for complete combustion, thereby producing hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
