<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide catalyst combustion apparatus with a vaporization function capable of shortening starting time of catalytic combustion, saving of electric power, and simplifying and miniaturizing an arrangement. SOLUTION: A fuel vaporization section 31 and a catalytic combustion section 6 consists of a power supply heater provided wit many through-holes, and the catalytic combustion section 6 is disposed around the fuel vaporization section 31. The fuel vaporization section 31 and the catalytic combustion section 6 are simultaneously supplied with electric power. The catalytic combustion section 6 is previously heated substantially when a fuel vaporized by permitting the fuel vaporization section 31 to be heated, so that the catalytic combustion is quickly started. Since the fuel vaporization section 31 is heated with combustion heat, fuel vaporization electric power is eliminated. Further, a space occupied by the fuel vaporization section 31 and the catalytic combustion section 6 is reduced together with miniaturization of the catalytic combustion apparatus and simplification of the structure of the catalytic combustion apparatus.</p> |
