The invention relates to a system for converting fuel and air into reformate with a reformer which has a reaction space, a nozzle for supplying a fuel/air mixture to the reaction space, and a fuel feed for supplying fuel to the nozzle. In the invention, the air inlet area of the nozzle is provided with air guidance means which impart a swirl to the in-flowing air.

System for converting fuel and air into reformate

A system for converting fuel and air into reformate with a reformer which has a reaction space, a nozzle for supplying a fuel/air mixture to the reaction space, and a fuel feed for supplying fuel to the nozzle (). The nozzle is a Venturi nozzle with an air inlet area and a diffusor area which extends downstream with respect to the air inlet area.

A burner, in particular, for a motor vehicle supplementary or parking heater, for the burning of liquid fuel, in the presence of combustion air, has a combustion chamber ( ), with a jet for the atomization of liquid fuel, arranged before said chamber. The jet has a Venturi tube ( ) at the largest diameter end of the diffuser section thereof, opening into the combustion chamber ( ), and the liquid fuel is introduced into the Venturi region which is at a low pressure when compared with the upstream end of the diffuser section ( ), and through the inlet section ( ) of which the air is pumped.
