A fuel reforming system, comprising a reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ) which produces reformate gas from rich raw fuel gas, and supplies the reformate gas to the fuel cell ( 28 ) during a reforming operation, a burner ( 1 ) which produces lean combustion gas, and supplies the lean combustion gas to the reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ) during a warmup operation of the reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ), and a nonflammable fluid supply apparatus which supplies a nonflammable fluid other than fuel and air to the reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ). During the warmup operation of the reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ), the lean combustion gas is supplied from the burner ( 1 ) to the reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ), and when warmup of the reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ) is complete, the nonflammable fluid is supplied from the nonflammable fluid supply apparatus to the reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ), and the reforming operation of the reformer ( 2, 3, 4 ) then starts. |
