TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a new power generation technology which converts chemical energy of fuel into electric energy by electrochemical reaction, and its working temperature is between 650 DEG C and 800 DEG C; solid oxide fuel cell can directly use synthesis gas (containing H2, CO, CO2, H2O, C x H y Etc.) after reforming of carbon hydrogen fuel as fuel to generate electricity.
[0003] Carbon hydrogen fuel generally refers to gasoline, diesel, kerosene, methanol, methane and the like, and reforming methods are generally divided into steam reforming, partial oxidation reforming and autothermal reforming. Steam reforming uses steam as oxidant, has the advantages of less carbon deposition, high reforming efficiency and high hydrogen production rate, and is widely used at present; but a large amount of heat needs to be absorbed in the whole reaction process, and heat needs to be continuously provided to maintain efficient reforming reaction. In the prior art, heat supply in the reforming reaction process is transferred by heat conducting oil or directly exchanged by co-wall surface. In industrial application, the reactor is mainly packaged with granular reforming catalyst, and there are problems of large volume and poor uniformity of catalyst bed temperature; in small system application, micro-channel reforming reactors are proposed one after another, such as Chinese patent (application number 201710567730.3), which coats catalyst on the flow channel plate and then assembles into a reactor, and has problems of great coating difficulty, high process cost and complex welding.

After the heat supply medium enters the reaction cavity, it exchanges heat with the reforming reaction tube to supply heat for reforming; the heat supply medium does not generate secondary heat after entering the reaction cavity. Chinese patent (application number 202410149108.0) proposes a spiral column pipe type methanol reforming hydrogen production device and its operation method, which directly uses methanol solution and anode tail gas of the electric pile as the combustion chamber supply source, and uses the hot air flow generated by the combustion chamber to exchange heat with the catalyst of the reforming chamber to supply heat for reforming. The reforming area and the combustion area are separated, the fuel gas is first oxidized and heated by combustion, and then enters the reforming area to exchange heat, provide the required heat for reforming and carry out reforming in the reforming reaction cavity. The reforming catalyst is mainly in the form of loaded particles, and the reforming reaction area and the oxidation heating area are independent of each other; the column pipe is for heat supply gas, and the outside of the column pipe is the reforming area.
[0005] In the prior art, the heating gas oxidation cavity and the reforming reaction cavity are separated from each other, and the reforming catalyst and the catalytic combustion catalyst are independent of each other, which is not suitable for the reforming reactor with high power reforming demand.
