<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen generator capable of realizing the improvement of hydrogen generation efficiency. <P>SOLUTION: The hydrogen generator A1 which performs non-equilibrium hydrogen generation reaction is equipped with a reforming part 11 for reforming fuel by a reforming catalyst in flowing fuel in a fixed direction, a hydrogen separation film 12 for separating and extracting hydrogen gas from reformed gas which is reformed by the reforming part 11 and a permeation part 13 for flowing hydrogen gas separated and extracted by the hydrogen separation film 12 to the outside of the equipment. By equipping with a temperature dispersion suppression means 14 of the reforming catalyst in fuel flow direction of the reforming part 11, the reforming reaction heat is uniformly maintained over the whole fuel flow direction of the reforming part 11, and hydrogen generation efficiency is largely improved even if heating is at an upper limit temperature or less in the reformer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
