LPG 연료의 플라즈마 개질 특성연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, characteristics of reforming process of Automotive LPG fuel using plasma reactor are investigated. Because plasma reformer technology has advantages of a fast start-up and wide fuel/oxidizer ratio of operation, and reactor size is smaller and more simple compared to typical combustor and catalytic reactor, plasma reforming is suitable to the on-board vehicle reformer. To evaluate the characteristics of the reforming process, parametric effect of O₂/C ratio, reactant flow rate and plasma power on the process were
investigated. In the test of varying O₂/C ratio from partial oxidation stoichiometry to combustion stoichiometry, conversion of LPG was increased but selectivity of H2 decreased. The optimum condition of O₂/C ratio for the highest H₂ yield was determined to be 0.8~0.9 for 20~50 lpm. The result can be a guide to map optimal condition of reforming process.
