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 reaction space, there is a breaker body for a fuel/air mixture supplied through the nozzle.

System for converting fuel and air into reformate

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.

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.

An arrangement having an auxiliary heater, a catalytic converter () for catalytic post-combustion of exhaust gas from the heater, a muffler () for damping of the noise caused by the exhaust gas, and an exhaust line for removing exhaust gas from the auxiliary heater. In order especially to devise an auxiliary heater in which the muffler and the catalytic converter can be installed relatively easily, the muffler () and the catalytic converter () are combined in sing module () that can be located on the exhaust line.

Auxiliary heater arrangement with a muffler

A heater in which, during the glow plug ramp time interval, the amount of energy supplied per unit of time to the glow plug/flame monitor can be successively changed, and a control unit which is operationally coupled to the glow plug/flame monitor. To enable continuous flame monitoring during the starting phase of the heater with the control unit, the resistance value of the glow plug/flame monitor is determined during the glow plug ramp time interval and compared to a threshold value R, and when the threshold value Ris not reached, a flame-out signal is generated.

Heater with glow plug/flame monitor

A heating apparatus for a motor vehicle including a heat exchanger having a wall for separating a heated exhaust gas from a heat exchange medium, a conveyor mechanism for conveying the heat exchange medium along the wall, and a protective mechanism for protecting the heater against overheating. The protective mechanism determines the mass flow of the heat exchange medium delivered by the conveyor mechanism when the heater is actuated so that the danger of overheating the heater is reliably detected when the delivery of the heat exchange medium is dammed.

Heater apparatus for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to an atomizer burner for a motor vehicle heater, with a cobustion chamber which contains a baffle barrier and with an atomizer means ( ) which atomizes the fuel into the combustion chamber, characterized in that within the combustion chamber in the atomization direction of the fuel at a distance from the atomization point of the atomizer means ( ) which is smaller than the diameter of the combustion chamber or the diameter of a cylindrical heat shield ( ) which extends in the combustion chamber there is a baffle plate ( ) which acts as a baffle barrier.
