Abstract

This present invention provides a hydrogen generator with excellent energy efficiency and can reduce equipment cost. In the hydrogen generator, a hydrocarbon gas is reformed to produce a reformed hydrogen-rich gas. The hydrogen generator comprises a reformer 1 for catalytically reacting the hydrocarbon gas together with oxygen with a catalyst to perform combustion and reforming of the hydrocarbon gas and a first heat exchanger 3 for heating the hydrocarbon gas to be introduced into the reformer 1 after heat exchange between the reformed gas and the hydrocarbon gas in a reformed gas passage 25 provided on the downstream side of the reformer 1. According to the above construction, the raw material gas to be introduced into the reformer 1 is heated by the heat of the reformed gas produced by the combustion and reforming, without the need to externally supply heat energy necessary for reforming by a burner of the like. Accordingly, the energy efficiency is improved. Furthermore, since the need to provide any burner in the reformer 1 is eliminated, the structure of the reformer 1 per se can be simplified, and at the same time, the structure for imparting heat resistance and pressure resistance can also be simplified. This advantage leads to a reduction in equipment cost.
