More Information
Summary:An integrated catalyst reformer (10) is described, comprising a housing (11) which surrounds and defines at least two individualized and adjacent chambers, the first chamber (12) being intended for the catalytic conversion of exhaust gases from the MCI and at least one second chamber (13) intended for reforming fuel, ethanol or others, and the heat generated in the first chamber (12) being transferred to the second chamber (13) by thermal conduction. The first chamber (12) is connected, upstream, to the exhaust manifold (7) of the MCI from the inlet nozzle (14) and is connected to the exhaust (8) of the vehicle from the outlet nozzle (15), while the plenum of the first chamber (12) is filled with a catalytic mesh. The second chamber (13) comprises a plenum filled with a catalytic mesh; an intake nozzle (16) intended to receive both ambient air and the fuel to be reformed; and an exhaust nozzle (18), connected upstream of the intake manifold (4), so as to allow the reformed fuel to be aspirated.
