Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0026136A1] The invention relates to a reformer for reforming methanol and/or natural gas, especially a reformer for generating hydrogen for fuel cell systems. Said reformer has a reformer chamber with a dynamically adjustable reaction surface so that the reaction surface can be changed as required in such a way that the reformer does not fall below a predetermined partial load.
