PURPOSE: To keep good reforming ratio and prevent efficiency of whole system from lowering by connecting a reforming reacting part through a heat pipe to a chemical heat source part. CONSTITUTION: A condensing part 11b of a heat pipe 11 is installed in a reforming reacting part 10 for generating hydrogen and an evaporating part 11a of the heat pipe 11 has a part 19 heated by oxidation heat of a discharge gas discharged from a fuel cell and a part bringing into contact with an electric heat source part 20 controlled to a prescribed temperature. Since, in this methanol the reforming reacting part of methanol is connected through a heat pipe having uniform temperature characteristics to a chemical heat source part, oxidation (combustion) heat generated in the chemical heat source part is transported under heating so as to keep the temperature of each part of the reforming reacting part to uniform temperature. Since electric heat source part for assisting the chemical heat source part is attached to the heat pipe, good reforming ratio is always kept in the reforming reactor. |
