<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control unit of a reformer for a fuel cell to keep a stable burning condition of a combustion burner during the on-off of a water supply route which supplies the water removed from anode gas etc. to a water storage tank, in a reformer for a fuel cell equipped with a combustion burner to heat the reforming catalyst. <P>SOLUTION: This control unit determines (S14) the supply quantity of the air to the combustion burner to heat the reforming catalyst, controls the water quantity of the removed water, which is the water removed from at least either one of anode gas supplied to the fuel cell and anode off gas discharged from the fuel cell and supplied to the water storage tank by opening or shutting of the water supply route, and, on one hand, corrects (S22-S26) the quantity of the air supply which is determined complying with the output of a discharge gas sensor equipped in the discharge gas line of the combustion burner and, on the other hand, keeps (S30) the quantity of the corrected air supply, when the water supply route is opened or shut. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
