Abstract

A fuel processor (15) that produces hydrogen (39) from a fuel source (29). The fuel processor (15) comprises a reformer (32) and a burner (30). The reformer (32) includes a catalyst for production of the hydrogen (39). Voluminous reformer chambers increase the amount of catalyst used in the reformer (32) and consequently increase hydrogen production for given fuel processor size. The burner (30) provides heat to the reformer (32). One or multiple burners can surround the reformer on multiple sides to increase heat transfer. Dewars (150) can be used to further increase thermal management of the fuel processor (15) and increase burner efficiency. A dewar (150) includes one or more dewar chambers that receive inlet air (31) before the burner (30) receives the air (31). The air (31) is preheated in the dewar (150) chamber using heat generated by the burner (30).
