HYDROGEN GENERATION DEVICE AND FUEL CELL SYSTEM EQUIPPED WITH SAME

摘要

A hydrogen generation apparatus (100) according to the present invention includes: a hydrogen generator (1) configured to generate a fuel gas through a reforming reaction by using a raw fuel; a combustor (2) configured to heat the hydrogen generator (1); an on-off valve (8A) configured to open/block a gas passage (8) through which the gas that is sent out from the hydrogen generator (1) is supplied to the combustor (2); a combustion air supply device (4) configured to supply combustion air to the combustor (2); an ignition device (5) provided at the combustor (2); and a controller (30). In a case where flame extinction has occurred at the combustor (2) during generation of a hydrogen-containing gas in a start-up process, the controller (30) performs an ignition operation of the ignition device (5) with the on-off valve (8A) kept opened.
