Fuel-reforming apparatus includes a number of catalyst-filled tubes (4) adapted to be heated up to an elevated temperature by heating from the outside so as to reform fuel to gas containing hydrogen as a main component, the fuel passing through &cirf& each of the catalyzer-filled tubes (4) which tubes are arranged in a fluidized bed (24). A plurality of pipe burners (5) may be disposed above the bottom floor of the fluidized layer (24). Each of the catalyst filled tubes (4) is preferably designed in the form of a double wall tube (Fig. 13(a)). The fluidized bed (24) is preferably pressurized and drives a gas turbine; combustion gases from the bed may be used to preheat combustion air in a heat-exchanger (19). <IMAGE> |
