<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reformer system, which enhances heat exchange efficiency without increasing the pressure loss of fluid, which has a simple and compact shape requiring no piping etc., and which can be incorporated into other apparatuses and inexpensively mass-produced. <P>SOLUTION: A fluid flow-passage plate is formed by punching out a plurality of fluid flow-passages. A header plate is formed by punching out header through-holes for supplying/discharging a raw material gas to/from the fluid flow-passages into a shape and punching out header through-holes for supplying/discharging a fuel gas to/from the fluid flow-passages into another shape. An intermediate plate for making the fluid flow-passage plate to form the fluid flow-passages is formed. Besides, through-holes for supplying /discharging separately the raw material gas and the fuel gas to/from the header through-holes, which have different shapes as mentioned above, are formed in each of the plates. These plates are laminated to form a laminate-type fluid passage unit. The units are prepared for the raw material gas and the fuel gas, and so composed that the through-holes of each apparatus of the system for discharging the raw material gas and the fuel gas are connected to the through-holes of other apparatuses for supplying them. In this way, the reformer system has each of its devices composed integrally. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
