<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for producing hydrogen reduced in a thermal load to a reforming catalyst particularly on its starting and strong in the repetition of the starting and stopping. <P>SOLUTION: A preheating part 7 heated by heat from a heating part in a reforming part 1, and a vaporizing part 9 for water having a heater between a water feeding part 6 and the preheating part 7 are provided. A reforming temperature measuring part 2 is provided with a previously set first standard value, and, on the starting at which a heating part 3 is operated and the feed of a raw material and water is started in the apparatus, the amount of heat to the reforming part 1 in the heating part 3 is controlled based on the detected temperature in the reforming temperature measuring part 2. Also, in the case the detected temperature is lower than the first standard value, the heater is operated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
