Zusammenfassung:A combustor for oxidizing a combustion fuel and pre-heating one or more reactants for fuel reforming. The combustor includes an elongated housing (220) having an inlet (236) for receiving a combustion fuel and an outlet (238) for exhausting combustion products. The elongated housing (220) furthe r includes a cylindrical side wall (244), a bottom wall (242), and a top wall (240). Inert particles (250) are disposed within the housing (220) adjacent the inlet (236). A combustion catalyst bed (260) is disposed within the housing (220) above the inert particles (250) that is a mixture of inert particles and combustion catalyst. The combustor has at least one heat exchanger (230, 232) within the combustion catalyst bed (260) for heating a reformer reactant and generating steam. The combustor can include at least o ne sensor (224, 226) for measuring temperature within the combustor.
