A gas generator which comprises a heat resistant housing and a reaction chamber which is centrally arranged therein and contains a catalytic charge, with an inlet opening for the reactants and an outlet opening for the fuel gas is used for catalytically reacting liquid, hydrocarbon containing fuel to be evaporated with an oxygen containing gas at elevated temperature to form a fuel gas. The housing consists of a lower part and a removable cover and the reaction chamber including the catalytic charge is replaceable. The fuel and/or the oxygen containing gas is fed to the reaction chamber for preheating and evaporating, respectively, via a system of tubes which is arranged between the reaction chamber and the lower part of the housing and is run around the reaction chamber in helical fashion.

Gas generator for catalytically reacting liquid, hydrocarbon containing

A starting device for reformed gas generators of the type in which atomized or evaporated liquid, hydrocarbon containing fuel is catalytically reacted with a gas containing oxygen at elevated temperatures to form a fuel gas, includes a conically shaped housing having an outlet for coupling to the inlet of the reformed gas generator, a gas permeable burner plate within said housing, a fuel injection nozzle arranged so that nearly the entire surface of the burner plate is supplied with fuel, a heat-resistant, gas permeable terminating plate filling, the outlet of the starting device and defining, with the burner plate, a combustion chamber, an ignition device disposed in said combustion chamber and means for introducing the air and atomized fuel into the combustion chamber through the burner plate.
