Abstract
In PEFC reformer fueled with kerosene, carbonization of kerosene may be a crucial problem for reforming process. To prevent fuel carbonization, the evaporation of kerosene and water was conducted by two steps. In the first step, the evaporation temperature was kept at 100℃ producing gas-liquid flow of water. After mixing with liquid kerosene, in the second step, the liquid components of the mixture were vaporized completely by additional heating and fed into reforming catalyst. The experimental result showed the effectiveness of the procedure for stable vaporization.
