A device having a plurality of chambers for carrying out a solid-catalyzed reaction includes a common evaporation unit for evaporating liquid starting materials. The evaporation unit is in thermally conductive contact with a plurality of chambers. An area of the evaporation unit in which the evaporation substantially takes place is at least partially surrounded by the plurality of chambers.

Device for evaporating a liquid

The invention relates to a device for generating a hydrogen-rich gas from a liquid, hydrogen-containing fuel using a reforming reaction, having feed lines for supplying starting materials and having discharge lines for discharging the reformate, having at least one component for evaporating liquid starting materials, having at least one component for reforming, having at least one component for the catalytic generation of thermal energy, and having at least one component for reducing the carbon monoxide fraction in the reformate, in which device at least two of the components are arranged on a common plate, which comprises a porous layer formed by pressing catalyst material, the reaction starting materials flowing over and/or through the layer.

Gas producing system

A device feeds educts to parallel spaces separated from one another by way of a distributor unit. Outlets of the distributor unit are assigned to the spaces, and evaporator structures for the evaporation of liquid media are provided in the spaces. Each outlet of the distributor unit project into a space. The boiling point of the medium in the distributor unit is maintained above the temperature of the medium in the distributor unit.

Device for feeding educts to parallel spaces

A catalyst element for a stacked reactor for generating hydrogen from hydrocarbons includes a catalyst disc of porous material and a solid connection element. The catalyst-side end of the connection element is at least partially enclosed by the catalyst disc and is connected to this disc. The catalyst-side end of the connection element may have a mediator layer that is joined to the connection element over the entire area by sintering, soldering, or adhesive bonding. The mediator layer is joined to the catalyst disc over the entire area by sintering. Attachment means are provided at the exposed end, which is remote from the catalyst, of the connection element.

Catalyst element for a stacked reactor and process for producing the catalyst element

A device for evaporating liquids includes a porous, thermally conductive evaporation body, which contains a catalyst material on one surface, while the evaporation body is gas-impermeable on the opposite surface. Liquid which is to be evaporated and, if appropriate an additional fuel, can be fed to the evaporation body. The heat of evaporation required is provided by an exothermic reaction of the liquid or with a gaseous oxidizing agent at the catalyst material.
