Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A fuel processor includes a hydrogen-producing region and a burner assembly. The hydrogen-producing region is adapted to receive a feed stream and to produce a mixed gas stream containing hydrogen gas and other gases therefrom. The burner assembl y is adapted to produce a heated exhaust stream for heating at least the hydrogen-produci ng region of the fuel processor. The burner assembly is also adapted to receive a combustible fuel stream and an air stream and to combust the fuel and air streams to produce the heated exhaust stream. The fuel processor further includes means for controlling the amount of heat produced by the burner assembly by controlling the rate at which the air stream is delivered to the burner assembly.
