<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a starter for a fuel reformer, raising the temperature of a combustion catalyst to light-off temperature, requiring low electric power consumption and having a simple structure without complicating the device by the addition of a system for flame, combustion or the like to the starter and increasing power consumption by electric heating. <P>SOLUTION: This starer for the fuel reformer includes: a combustion catalyst section; an exhaust gas supply section supplying exhaust gas discharged from an engine to the combustion catalyst section; and a fuel vapor supply section supplying fuel vapor and air to the combustion catalyst section. Temperature rise is performed by supplying engine exhaust gas to catalyst combustion. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
