Description

Technical Field

[0002] A methanol reformer is a device that uses catalytic reforming technology to convert a methanol-water solution, which is in a liquid state at room temperature, into a hydrogen-rich gas. Its main working principle is that, through the action of a catalyst, the methanol-water solution undergoes cracking and conversion reactions to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Methanol reformers have wide applications in the field of fuel cells. Especially in high-temperature fuel cells, methanol reformers can convert methanol into hydrogen for power generation. This technology has significant advantages in reducing hydrogen production costs and improving energy conversion efficiency.

[0003] Currently, methanol reforming for hydrogen production typically requires high temperatures to sustain the reaction. However, traditional heating methods such as electric heating and fuel combustion result in additional energy consumption, increased device complexity, and larger size. Therefore, a reforming module is proposed. Utility Model Content
