Abstract

The invention relates to a system for reacting fuel (216) and air (218) to a reformate (220). Said system comprises a reformer (214) including a reaction chamber, a nozzle (11) for supply a fuel/air mixture to the reaction chamber, at least one supply line (24) for supplying fuel (216) to the nozzle (11) and at least one entrance channel (18) for supplying air (218) to the nozzle (11).
According to the invention, the nozzle (11) comprises a swirl chamber (19, 22) into which the at least one supply line (24) for supplying fuel (216) runs in a substantially axial/central manner and the at least one entrance channel (18) runs in a substantially tangential manner and from which a nozzle outlet (23) exits. The swirl chamber (19, 22) comprises a narrowing spiral channel (19) into which the entrance channel (18) for the gaseous medium runs, and a space (22) axially contiguous thereto in the direction toward the nozzle outlet (23), into which the supply line (24) for supplying fuel (216) runs and from which the nozzle outlet (23) exits.
