PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen generation apparatus for a fuel cell to be able to obtain the average temperature of a reformer stably without establishing a plurality of temperature detecting means. SOLUTION: It is comprised of the outlet 20 to collect a reformed gas flow set at the downstream part of the reforming catalyst layer 1, the thermocouple 7 to detect reformed gas temperature set at the outlet 20 and the controlling unit 8 to control the fuel control valve 3 based on the temperature of the thermocouple 7. As the temperature distribution caused by the non-uniformity of the mixing conditions of a raw material with steam and that of the raw material flow at the inside of the reforming catalyst layer 1 is made moderate, the average temperature of the catalyst layer is obtained stably. As the reformed gas flow is gathered at the outlet 20, the average temperature is obtained without establishing a plurality of temperature detecting means. |
