PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen and carbon monoxide-generating apparatus having a simple structure and at the same time a heat and pressure resistant structure, capable of recovering heat energy and buildable at a low cost. SOLUTION: This hydrogen and carbon monoxide-generating apparatus is provided with a reaction furnace 1 having a raw material-introducing passage 4 and an oxygen-introducing passage 6 which introduce a hydrocarbon of raw material and oxygen, respectively, and a gas-takeout pipe 9 for taking out a hydrogen and carbon monoxide-containing gas generated by the high temperature reaction of the raw material hydrocarbon and the oxygen. The reaction furnace 1 has a reaction cylinder 3, which is placed between the raw material- introducing passage 4 and the oxygen-introducing passage 6, and the gas-takeout pipe 9, and in which the hydrocarbon of raw material is made to react with the oxygen. An outer tank 2 through which water 10 is passed to cool the reaction cylinder 3 is placed around the reaction cylinder 3, and the outer tank 2 has a water-feeding tube 7 for introducing water 10 into the outer tank 2 and a steam-takeout tube 8 for taking out steam 13 from the outer tank 2. |
