Fuel reforming apparatus
Abstract
A fuel reforming apparatus comprises a liquid feed heating portion (1), an evaporation portion (2), a steam superheating portion (3), a reforming portion (4), a shift reaction portion (4a), a CO oxidization portion (5), a catalytic combustion portion (6), and a heat recovery portion (7). These portions (2, 3, 4, 4a, 5, 6, 7) are constituted by flat plates provided with heat-transfer fins (27) in the interior and are stacked into integral structure, thereby obtaining a temperature distribution along a stacked direction so that the temperature of the respective flat plate element becomes a temperature suitable for reforming, combustion, evaporation, shift and CO oxidization.
