Abstract:
1. A reactor comprising: a high-temperature reaction part which causes reaction of a reactant; a low-temperature reaction part which causes reaction of the reactant at a lower temperature than that of the high-temperature reaction part; a connection section which connects the high-temperature reaction part and the low-temperature reaction part, and which is formed with a width narrower than a width of the high-temperature reaction part and a width of the low-temperature reaction part; a high-temperature reaction part heating element which is provided in the high-temperature reaction part, and which heats the high-temperature reaction part; a heat insulating package which houses the high-temperature reaction part, the connection section, and the low-temperature reaction part; and a high-temperature reaction part lead wire which is electrically connected to the high-temperature reaction part heating element; wherein the heat insulating package houses the high-temperature reaction part, the connection section and the low-temperature reaction part spaced apart from an inner face of the heat insulating package; wherein the lead wire, whose first end side is connected to the high-temperature reaction part heating element, is wired to the low-temperature reaction part along the connection section and a second end side of the lead wire is positioned to penetrate through the heat insulating package from the low-temperature reaction part so as to be exposed to outside of the heat insulating package; and wherein the lead wire applies a voltage to the high-temperature reaction part heating element from outside of the heat insulating package.
