Reformation of diesel fuel was performed using a silicon carbide (SiC) block with penetrating walls. The atomized fuel was spray injected to the electrically heated block. The fuel-air mixture was reformed by partial oxidation and changed to synthesis gas including CO, CO2, H2O, O2 & H2. The composition of the reformed gas was measured with varying fuel-air ratios. The degree of reformation changes with the temperature and a maximum reformation efficiency of ~90% is attained at around 850 °C.
Keywords. Reformation; Synthesis gas; SiC block
