<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel reformer housing container and a fuel reforming apparatus in which high power generation efficiency is attained by effectively suppressing transfer of heat generated in a fuel reformer to a fuel reformer housing container. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel reformer housing container 12 includes a base 1 having a concave portion for housing a fuel reformer 9; a lid 4; a supply pipe 5a for supplying fuel which pierces at least one of the base 1 and the lid 4 so that a front end thereof is joined to the fuel reformer 9, and which holds the fuel reformer 9 in a space between the lid 4 and a bottom surface of the concave portion; and a discharge pipe 5b for discharging reformed gas which pierces at least one of the base 1 and the lid 4 so that a front end thereof is joined to the fuel reformer 9, and which holds the fuel reformer 9 in a space between the lid 4 and the bottom surface of the concave portion. In at least one of the base 1 and the lid 4, a cavity S depressurized below atmospheric pressure is formed and a gas suction opening 10 for depressurizing the cavity is also formed at a portion of the fuel reformer 9 side. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
