Abstract:
1. A fuel reforming apparatus, comprising: a main body comprising a first pipe and a second pipe disposed inside the first pipe; a heat source installed in the second pipe and adapted to generate thermal energy in the second pipe; the first pipe having opposite ends that are closed onto an outer circumference of the second pipe to define, with said outer circumference of the second pipe, a space that contains a reforming catalyst so as to provide a reforming reaction unit said reforming reaction unit being adapted to be heated by the heat source and generate a reformed gas containing hydrogen through a reforming reaction of the fuel; the second pipe having, at a first end, a first injection port for fuel to be consumed by the heat source and, at a second and opposite end, a first discharging port for discharging a combustion gas; and a housing encasing the main body and allowing the combustion gas generated from the heat source to flow along an outer circumference of the reforming reaction unit.
