Zusammenfassung:	A burner assembly (400') receiving at least one liquid and/or gaseous fuel stream (408) mixing said stream with air (410) and combusting the mixed stream to provide heat for a fuel processor. The burner assembly fuel stream (408) may originate as at least one combustible stream produced by fuel processing and/or fuel cell system and have the same composition as a stream that is delivered for non-combustion purposes to another portion of the fuel processing and/or fuel cell system. Additionally the burner assembly (400') may receive and vaporize a fuel stream (82) that includes the same carbon-containing feedstock and/or has the same overall composition as feed stream from which the fuel processor, e.g. steam reformer, produces hydrogen gas. L'invention concerne un ensemble brûleur (400') conçu pour recevoir au moins un flux de combustible (408) liquide et/ou gazeux, mélanger ce flux avec de l'air (410) et brûler le flux mélangé pour fournir de la chaleur à un convertisseur de combustible. Le flux de combustible (408) de l'ensemble brûleur (400') peut avoir la même origine qu'au moins un flux de combustible produit par un système de transformation de combustible et/ou de pile à combustible et posséder la même composition qu'un flux acheminé à des fins autres que la combustion dans une autre partie dudit système de transformation de combustible et/ou de pile à combustible. Par ailleurs, l'ensemble brûleur (400') peut recevoir et vaporiser un flux de combustible (82) comprenant la même charge contenant du carbone et/ou possédant la même composition générale qu'un flux d'alimentation à partir duquel le convertisseur de combustible, p. ex. un reformeur à vapeur, produit du gaz hydrogène.
