(WO200002812-A1)      NOVELTY - The reformer has catalyst part (34) equipped with catalyst for water vapor modification reaction and oxidation of fuel gas. The catalyst part is connected to hot fuel gas inlet (64) and reformed gas outlet (65), provided with gas flow regulator.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The reformer has catalyst part equipped with catalyst which promotes modification and oxidation of water vapor and hydrocarbon supplied to result in generation of heat and hydrogen gas. Hot fuel gas containing water vapor and hydrocarbon is supplied via hot gas inlet and the hydrogen rich fuel gas generated is removed via enriched gas outlet. The hot gas inlet is provided with flow regulator to control rate of flow. The heat generated by catalyst during oxidation of fuel is used for preheating fuel gas which is removed along the outlet region.    USE -   For supplying reformed fuel gas (hydrogen enriched fuel gas) to fuel battery.    ADVANTAGE -   Reforms hydrocarbon fuel and formation of carbon monoxide (CO) is suppressed. A high energy efficiency is achieved. The internal temperature of fuel battery apparatus is equalised to a predetermined temperature range.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows structure of catalyst part of fuel reformer. (34) Catalyst part; (64) Hot gas inlet; (65) Enriched gas outlet; (80,81) Reaction part.
