PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the stress acting on a reformer from a mounting part to the base even in the case the reformer undergoes a thermal deformation. SOLUTION: The reformer 1 is structured so that a crude material is introduced from its inlet pipe 5 and reformed and the obtained reformed gas is supplied from its outlet pipe 7 to a fuel cell, wherein one end on the side with the inlet pipe 5 is fixed to one end of a first mounting bracket 9 while the other end of the first mounting bracket 9 is fixed to the base 11. One end of a second mounting bracket 13 is fixed to the other end on the side with the outlet pipe 7 of the reformer 1, while the bottom of the second mounting bracket 13 is fixed to the base 11 through a mounting member 15. The mounting member 15 has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the casing of the reformer 1, and when the casing makes thermal deformation with a heat emission at the time of reforming reaction, accompanied by thermal deformation of the mounting member 15. |
