PURPOSE:To utilize the heat produced in the battery for vaporization and reformation of the fuel by introducing part of a mixture of alcohol and water into a reformer through a cooler installed in the battery. CONSTITUTION:Alcohol 14 used as the original fuel and water 15 are fed into a line 20 through pumps 13a and 13b and mixed in the line 20. Part of the mixture is introduced into the cooler of a battery 1 through a bypass line 9 and the remaining part is introduced into an evaporator 4b. The amount of the mixture introduced into the cooler 2 is controlled, according to output and temperature levels determined by an output detector 5 and a temperature detector 6 installed in the battery 1, by controlling the opening of a flow control valve 8 to adjust the temperature of the battery 1 to an intended level by using a controller 7. The liquid mixture introduced into the cooler 2 vaporises and the battery 1 is cooled by both heating and the heat of vaporization. The resulting vapor of the liquid mixture is introduced into the heating part 3b of an alcohol reformer 3 and supplies reaction heat. |
