A fuel cell stack (8) generates power using hydrogen-rich gas obtained by reforming vaporized methanol in a reformer (6). The vaporized methanol is generated by vaporizing liquid methanol in a vaporizer (5). The vaporizer (5) is heated by combustion gas from a combustor (10). A sensor (31) detects a liquid methanol amount supplied to the vaporizer (5) by a methanol pump (4). A controller (100) calculates a prediction temperature of the vaporizer (5) based on the liquid methanol supply amount, and limits an increase of the liquid methanol supply amount from the methanol pump (4) so that the prediction temperature does not fall below a predetermined temperature (S7A, S7B). In this way, temperature drop of the vaporizer (5) from the predetermined temperature is prevented. <IMAGE> |
