HYDROGEN PRODUCING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME

摘要

The hydrogen producing device of the present invention is provided with the following: an air supplier (14); a combustor (10); a reformer (6); a reformer temperature detector (25) which detects the temperature of the reformer (6); a transformer (7) which is disposed downstream of the reformer (6) and is configured so as to be heated using the combustion gas that results from heating the reformer (6); a transformer temperature detector (26) which detects the temperature of the transformer (7); and a controller (33) which controls the combustor (10) so that the temperature of the reformer (6) detected by the reformer temperature detector (25) becomes a predetermined temperature. The controller (33) controls the air supplier (14) so as to increase the flow rate of air for combustion when the temperature of the transformer (7) detected by the transformer temperature detector (26) falls below a predetermined threshold temperature.
