Title:
FUEL REFORMING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007002684
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a fuel reforming device capable of enhancing the reforming efficiency of a hydrocarbon-based fuel.
A non-reformed hydrocarbon-based fuel which is not reformed by an upstream side catalyst 40 is subjected to re-reaction by a downstream side catalyst 42 for reformation. A heater for supplying heat to the downstream side catalyst 42 is preferable for a means for re-reaction. The heater includes a center electrode 50 arranged at the center of the catalyst 42, and an outer electrode 30 arranged on the outer circumferential part of the catalyst 42, and the catalyst 42 itself generates heat by feeding electricity to the catalyst 42.
