Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) assemblies with purge control systems, and hydrogen-generation assemblies and/or fuel cell systems containing the same. The PSA assemblies are operated according to a PSA cycle to produce a product hydrogen stream and a byproduct stream from a mixed gas stream. The byproduct stream may be delivered as a fuel stream to a heating assembly, which may heat the hydrogen-producing region that produces the mixed gas stream. The PSA assemblies may be adapted to regulate the flow of purge gas utilized therein, such as according to a predetermined, non-constant profile. In some embodiments, the flow of purge gas is regulated to maintain the flow rate and/or fuel value of the byproduct stream at or within a determined range of a threshold value, and/or to regulate the flow of purge gas to limit the concentration of carbon monoxide in a heated exhaust stream produced from the byproduct stream.

What is claimed is: 1. A hydrogen-generation assembly, comprising: a fuel processing system including at least one hydrogen-producing region adapted to receive at least one feed stream and to produce a mixed gas stream containing hydrogen gas and other gases therefrom by chemical reaction of the at least one feed stream at a hydrogen-producing temperature of at least 200° C.; a pressure swing adsorption assembly adapted to receive the mixed gas stream and to produce a product hydrogen stream containing at least substantially pure hydrogen gas and having a reduced concentration of the other gases than the mixed gas stream, and to produce a byproduct stream containing at least a substantial portion of the other gases, wherein the pressure swing adsorption assembly includes a plurality of adsorbent beds adapted to separate the mixed gas stream into streams forming the product hydrogen stream and the byproduct stream; a heating assembly adapted to receive and combust the byproduct stream to produce a heated exhaust stream adapted to heat at least the hydrogen-producing region; and means for regulating the flow rate of the byproduct stream that is received and combusted by the heating assembly to maintain the temperature of the hydrogen-producing region within a determined temperature range for producing the mixed gas stream. 2. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 1, wherein the hydrogen-producing region includes a steam reforming region adapted to produce the mixed gas stream from water and a carbon-containing feedstock. 3. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 2, wherein the carbon-containing feedstock includes a hydrocarbon and the determined temperature range is 400-900° C. 4. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 2, wherein the carbon-containing feedstock includes methanol and the determined temperature range is 200-500° C. 5. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 1, wherein the means for regulating is adapted to regulate the flow rate of purge gas to the adsorbent beds of a PSA assembly to maintain the concentration of carbon monoxide in the heated exhaust stream below 50 ppm. 6. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 5, wherein the means for regulating is adapted to one or more of selectively increasing and decreasing over a time period the flow rate of the purge gas. 7. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 1, wherein the means for regulating includes selectively delivering a purge stream to the adsorbent beds according to a variable-flow profile. 8. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 7, wherein the variable-flow profile includes an initial portion in which the purge gas is delivered at a flow rate that is less than an average flow rate for the purge gas through the adsorbent beds, and further wherein the profile includes a subsequent portion in which the purge gas is delivered at a flow rate that is greater than the average flow rate for the purge gas through the adsorbent beds. 9. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 1, wherein the means for regulating includes means for regulating the fuel value of the byproduct stream. 10. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 9, wherein the means for regulating includes means for maintaining the fuel value of the byproduct stream within a predetermined range of a determined fuel value. 11. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 1, wherein the means for regulating is adapted to ramp the flow rate of purge gas to the adsorbent beds. 12. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 1, wherein the means for regulating is adapted to deliver the flow rate of purge gas at an initial flow rate of purge gas that is less than 75% of an average flow rate of purge gas and thereafter increase the flow rate of purge gas. 13.

The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 13, wherein the flow profile includes a non-linear profile. 15. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 13, wherein the flow profile includes an initial flow rate of purge gas, and at least a subsequent flow rate of purge gas that is greater than the initial flow rate. 16. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 15, wherein the initial flow rate is less than 50% of the subsequent flow rate. 17. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 15, wherein the initial flow rate is 25-75% of an average flow rate of the purge gas during a purge stage of a PSA cycle, and further wherein the initial flow rate is maintained for at least 10% of the purge stage. 18. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 13, wherein the flow profile includes at least one portion in which the flow rate of purge gas is decreasing with time. 19. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 13, wherein the means for selectively distributing is adapted to maintain the flow rate of the byproduct stream within a predetermined range of a determined flow rate, wherein the determined flow rate is greater than zero. 20. The hydrogen-generation assembly of claim 19, wherein the determined flow rate corresponds to a flow rate in which the heated exhaust stream is adapted to maintain the hydrogen-producing region within a selected temperature range for producing the mixed gas stream.
