<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel reforming apparatus in which the efficiency of a carbon monoxide removing equipment is improved. <P>SOLUTION: In the fuel reforming apparatus provided with a reforming reactor (5) for producing a reformed gas and CO removing equipment (6) for decreasing CO in the reformed gas to have a prescribed concentration, the CO removing equipment is provided with a 1st circulation pump (11) for circulating a coolant of a fixed quantity to the CO removing equipment, a means (15b) for detecting the reformed gas discharged from the CO removing equipment, a 1st flow passage (1a) for circulating the coolant discharged from the CO removing equipment to the CO removing equipment through the 1st circulation pump (11), a 2nd flow passage (1b) provided parallel to the 1st flow passage and provided with a radiator and a 1st three-way valve (12) for controlling the mixing ratio of the coolant from the 1st flow passage with the coolant from the 2nd flow passage in the coolant flowing in the CO removing equipment at a branch point where the 1st flow passage and the 2nd flow passage are branched. The 1st three-way valve controls the mixing ratio so that the temperature of the reformed gas discharged from the CO removing equipment becomes a prescribed temperature. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
