In a gas generation method in which liquid fuel is catalytically reacted with air at elevated temperatures to form a fuel gas, several plates each having a multiplicity of passage openings are arranged in tandem in spaced fashion within the reaction chamber of the gas generator and are embedded in a bed of packing material with the thermal conductivity of the plates higher than that of the packing material in order to obtain more uniform heating of the reaction chamber and better mixing and distribution of the reacting media permitting the gas generator to be loaded more heavily.

A method of converting a reaction mixture consisting of atomized, vaporized or evaporated liquid, hydrocarbon fuel and a gas containing oxygen into a fuel gas at an elevated temperature in a gas generator including a reaction chamber comprising (a) imbedding a plurality of plates comprising porous ceramic sintered slabs containing a multiplicity of passage openings and having a surface which is catalytically active with respect to hydrocarbon fuels in a bed of packing material made up of a plurality of packing material grains such that said plates are diposed spaced one behind the other perpendicular to the flow direction of the reactants through the reaction chamber, said plates having a higher thermal conductivity than the packing material bed; and (b) passing the reaction mixture through said reaction chamber to convert it into a fuel gas.
