Abstract:
1. A reaction device, comprising: a reaction device main body that includes a first reaction unit and a second reaction unit; a container to house the reaction device main body; and a first region that corresponds to at least the first reaction unit and a second region that corresponds to the second reaction unit, the first and second regions being provided on at least one of the container and an internal side of the container; wherein the first reaction unit is set to a temperature higher than that of the second reaction unit, wherein the first region has a higher reflectivity than that of the second region with respect to a heat ray that is radiated from the reaction device main body; wherein a heat reflective film and a heat absorbing film are provided on an internal surface of the container, the heat absorbing film having a lower heat ray reflectivity than that of the heat reflective film and absorbing at least a part of the heat ray that is radiated from the reaction device main body; wherein the first region comprises a region in which the heat reflective film is exposed, and the second region comprises a region in which the heat reflective film and the heat absorbing film are overlapped; wherein the heat reflective film is provided on substantially an entirety of the internal surface of the container, and the heat absorbing film is provided on an internal side of the heat reflective film; and wherein the reaction device main body includes a reformer that generates hydrogen from a mixture of water and a carbon compound including hydrogen.
