COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH A FUEL REFORMER AND DISTILLER ASSEMBLY

An internal combustion engine assembly (1) comprises: a fuel tank (4) for containing fuel comprising alcohol, a reformer unit (15) being in heat exchanging contact with exhaust gases from an exhaust system (13, 14,18, 22), for steam reforming of alcohol, a water supply unit (19) connected to a water steam inlet (35,37) of the reformer unit (15), and a distiller unit (30) being with a fuel inlet connected to a distiller supply duct (31) that is connected to the fuel tank (4), an alcohol outlet (33) of the distiller unit (30) being connected to the inlet (29,34,35) of the reformer unit (15). [0002] The increased alcohol concentrations at the inlet of the steam reformer result in improved efficiency of the reforming process.
