<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel reforming apparatus in which a pump supplying air to a reformer can be easily controlled. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel reforming apparatus is equipped with: a reformer (10) which generates hydrogen-rich fuel gas from the supplied source fuel containing hydrogen; an air pump (23) which generates pressurized air to be supplied to the reformer; an air supply passages (L1 to L9) which has a main pipe (L1), a plurality of sub pipes (L2, L3) branched from the main pipe and a plurality of branch pipes (L4 to L9) further branched from the sub pipes and which guide the pressurized air to a plurality of sections in the reformer; a plurality of flow control valves (26a to 26f) respectively disposed in the plurality of branched pipes (L4 to L9) so that the air amount supplied to the plurality of sections of the reformer can be individually controlled; a plurality of air pressure detecting means (25a, 25b) respectively disposed in the plurality of sub pipes to detect the air pressure of the respective pipes; and a controlling means (50) to control the air pump (23) to generates constant air pressure based on the plurality of air pressures detected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
