Conventionally, a steam reforming method of producing a reformed gas containing hydrogen by subjecting a mixed gas of steam and hydrocarbon to a gas phase reaction at a high temperature in the presence of a catalyst is widely known. In this case, the gas-phase reaction between hydrocarbon and steam is 600
It is an endothermic reaction at a high temperature of ~ 900 ℃. In this steam reforming method, a mixed gas of hydrocarbon and steam is circulated in the catalyst tube, and the outer surface of the catalyst tube is usually 800 to 1
It is carried out by contacting with a combustion gas at a high temperature of 200 ° C. to heat it, and allowing the amount of high-temperature heat necessary for the reaction to enter the inside through the wall of the catalyst tube. And, such a steam reforming method is used as an apparatus for producing hydrogen used in a fuel cell.

A general steam reforming apparatus used to carry out the steam reforming method is a cylindrical body in which a part or all of the outer surface of a catalyst tube in which a mixed gas of steam and hydrocarbons flows in the tube is formed. The structure is such that the high temperature combustion gas is surrounded and surrounded by a gap formed between the outer surface of the catalyst tube and the inner surface of the cylindrical body.

By the way, in the conventional steam reforming apparatus, since the heat transfer efficiency of being transferred from the high temperature combustion gas to the inside of the catalyst tube through the wall of the catalyst tube is poor, a large amount of high temperature combustion gas is required to obtain the heat quantity necessary for the steam reforming reaction. Gas is required, and as a result, the production cost of hydrogen increases.

On the other hand, in order to improve the heat transfer efficiency, it has been proposed to fill the annular gap portion with coarse particles (particle diameter 3 to 10 mm) of a heat resistant inorganic material such as silica. However, even in this case, the heat transfer efficiency is not yet satisfactory, and conversely, in this case, the pressure loss in the gap through which the combustion gas flows through the annular gap portion becomes large, so that the combustion gas flows through the annular gap portion. There was a problem that the power cost for distribution would rise.

According to the research conducted by the present inventors, it has been found that in the steam reforming apparatus having the above-mentioned structure, the heat transfer efficiency is remarkably enhanced by disposing the mesh body M as a radiation heat transfer source. . This improvement in heat transfer efficiency is considered to be due to the following reasons. That is, in the case of a mesh, since it is composed of fine wires, has a large specific surface area, and is arranged in the middle of the passage of the high temperature combustion gas, the whole mesh is easily heated to a high temperature by the high temperature combustion gas. As a result, the surface temperature becomes high, which is close to the temperature of the combustion gas. Such a reticulate body having a high surface temperature and a large specific surface area has a large heat radiation ability, and the radiation heat transfer heats the outer surface of the catalyst tube to a high temperature, thereby increasing the heat input into the catalyst tube. . Since the outer surface of the catalyst tube is in contact with the combustion gas, there is also heat input due to this contact heating inside the catalyst tube, but the proportion is small, and most of the heat input into the catalyst tube (about 80% or more) ) Is the amount of radiant heat transfer from the mesh. As a result, the overall heat transfer from the hot combustion gases to the outer surface of the catalyst tube 1 is significantly greater than that without the mesh.

In the reticulate body used in the present invention, the material of the element wire is arbitrary as long as it has heat resistance, but in general, a metal wire such as nickel / chrome or a ceramic wire is used. The wire diameter of the wire forming the net-like body is preferably as thin as possible, but in general, a wire having a diameter of 5 mm or less, preferably about 1 to 3 mm is used. As the woven type of the net-like body, plain weave, twill weave, flat tatami weave, twill tatami weave, edible weave, balanced weave,
Herringbone weave and the like are used, and the distance between the individual wires is 5 mm or less, preferably about 1 to 3 mm. The radiant heat transfer is
Affected by the wire diameter of the wires forming the mesh and the spacing between the wires, the surface area per unit weight of the mesh is too small if the wires are too large, and efficient radiation heat transfer cannot be obtained. Further, if the spacing between the strands is too large, the strand density per unit area of the reticulate body becomes small, so that efficient radiation heat transfer cannot be obtained. When the reticulate body is arranged in the annular gap along the outer surface of the catalyst tube 1, it should be arranged in about 1/3 to 1/5 of the gas flow passage cross-sectional area so as not to increase the pressure loss of the high temperature combustion gas. Is preferred.

The annular gap 3 has a refractory inorganic material (ceramics).
It is possible to fill the ball with a filler such as balls or Raschig rings to increase the heat transfer capacity, but in this case, unlike the case of the mesh body, when trying to increase the heat transfer capacity, high temperature combustion gas It has a drawback that the pressure loss when flowing through the annular gap portion 3 becomes large. That is, in order to improve the heat transfer ability, it is necessary to reduce the particle size of the filler. On the other hand, when the particle size of the filler is reduced, the filler in the annular gap portion 3 is densely packed, and the pressure loss increases. Moreover, in the packed bed in which the gap 3 is filled with the filler, heat transfer causes a temperature distribution in the circumferential direction, the temperature of the filler near the surface of the catalyst tube 1 is low, and the surface of the catalyst tube 1 is low. The temperature of the filler farther away from is higher. On the other hand, when the net-like body is arranged in the middle of the annular gap portion 3, the above-mentioned drawback does not occur.

In the steam reforming apparatus of the present invention, the annular gap portion 3 has
One or more workpieces that narrow the cross-sectional area of the flow path of the high temperature combustion gas are provided in the middle of the flow path of the high temperature combustion gas to cause turbulence in the high temperature combustion gas passing through the gap portion 3 and further improve the heat transfer efficiency. it can. In this case, the arrangement of the workpiece is arbitrary as long as it is a method of narrowing the flow passage cross-sectional area. For example, other than the method of disposing the protrusion on the outer surface of the catalyst tube 1 or the inner surface of the cylindrical body 2, There is a method of arranging an annular ring surrounding the catalyst tube 1.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 denotes an annular ring, which are connected to each other by a plate-like connecting body 11 and are arranged in the gap 3. By disposing the annular ring, the high temperature combustion gas passage in the gap portion 3 becomes narrow at the disposition position of the annular rings, and the flow of the high temperature combustion gas is disturbed. This annular ring can be used as a support for the mesh-like body. In FIG. 2, the mesh-like body M is fixed to the inside of the annular ring by spot welding. Further, this annular ring can be arranged as a half-divided member or a three-divided member so that the annular ring can be easily arranged in the gap 3. Although the method of fixing the annular ring in the gap 3 is not shown in FIG. 2, this annular ring has a support rod fixed to the upper portion of the catalyst tube 1 and a hook attached to the support rod. It can be disposed in the gap portion 3 by suspending the whole thereof, or by fixing the annular ring to the surface of the catalyst tube 1 via a connecting body.
