<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that the flow rate of a fuel gas becomes unstable and combustion becomes unstable since the desorption of a hydrocarbon from an adsorptive desulfurization agent in the fuel gas at starting up of a hydrogen generating apparatus occurs. <P>SOLUTION: The hydrogen generating apparatus has a water supplying portion 3 to supply moisture, a raw material supplying portion 4 to supply a raw material, a desulfurizing portion 5 having a desulfurization agent to desulfurize a sulfur compound in the raw material by adsorption, a desulfurizing temperature detecting portion 19 to detect the temperature of the desulfurizing portion 5, a reforming portion to generate a hydrogen-containing gas by the reforming reaction of the raw material after the desulfurizing portion 5 and moisture, a combusting portion 2 to heat the reforming portion by combusting at least any one of the raw material having passed the desulfurizing portion and the hydrogen-containing gas, a combustion air supplying portion 18 to supply air for combustion to the combusting portion 2 and a controlling portion. In the controlling portion, the action of at least any one of the combustion air supplying portion 18 and the raw material supplying portion 4 is controlled basing a temperature detected at the desulfurizing temperature detecting portion 19. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
