PURPOSE:To provide a small fuel-reforming device reduced in the loss of heat and capable of lowering the concentration of carbon monoxide in the reformed gas. CONSTITUTION:A gasification section 3, a reforming and denaturing section 5, and an oxidation-removing section 6 comprise the laminate structures of a gasification layer 31 and a heating layer 32, a reformation catalyst layer 51 and a heating layer 52, and an oxidation catalyst layer 61 and a heating layer 62, respectively, and are incorporately and continuously disposed together with a combustion section 2. The constitution enables to greatly miniaturize the device in comparison with conventional devices and simultaneously highly reduce the loss of the heat of a heat source gas produced in the combustion section 2 for effectively utilizing the fuel. Since the concentration of carbon monoxide in the reformed gas is reduced in the reforming and denaturing section 5 and further since the concentration of the remaining carbon monoxide is reduced also in the oxidation-removing section 6, the concentration of the carbon monoxide in the reformed gas supplied to a fuel battery can surely be reduced to such a concentration (approximately 100ppm) as not affecting the fuel battery. |
