Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a hydrogen generator for producing hydrogen by the steam-reforming reaction of hydrocarbons, in which a pressure loss induction structure for artificially reducing the pressure of exhaust gas is provided between a combustion unit and an exhaust gas discharge pipe, thus improving the uneven distribution of exhaust gas.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cylindrical hydrogen generator, comprising: an outer case, an inner wall of which is provided with a layer of insulating material; a combustion unit; a reforming unit including two or more tubular reformers cylindrically disposed around the combustion unit, which is supplied with heat necessary for a steam-reforming reaction through radiation and convection of exhaust gas generated from the combustion unit, the tubular reformers being disposed using an…
