Feedstock delivery systems for hydrogen generation assemblies having a
hydrogen-producing region and a heating assembly. The delivery system
provides a hydrogen-production fluid to the hydrogen-producing region and
provides a heating fuel to the heating assembly. The delivery system
includes a pressure vessel having an interior cavity containing the
heating fuel and the hydrogen-production fluid, which are disposed in the
pressure vessel in a pressurizing--pressurized relationship, in which the
heating fuel is discharged from the pressure vessel under it own pressure
and the hydrogen-production fluid is discharged under pressure applied by
the heating fuel. The feedstock delivery system may separately discharge
the hydrogen-production fluid and the heating fuel and may include a
pressure transmitter disposed between the hydrogen-production fluid and
the heating fuel. The heating fuel may be a condensable fluid and the
hydrogen-production fluid may be a liquid at the operating conditions of
the feedstock delivery system.
