Patent ID: 6838063

Claim:
A hydrogen supply device for producing and supplying hydrogen to a hydrogen consumption device, comprising: a low temperature fluid passage; a high temperature fluid passage; a first rotary thermal storage through which the low and high temperature passages pass, the first rotary thermal storage being driven to rotate; a reforming material supply section for supplying reforming material to the low temperature fluid passage on an upstream side of the first rotary thermal storage; and a combustion gas supply section for generating and supplying a combustion gas to the high temperature fluid passage on an upstream side of the first rotary thermal storage, wherein the first rotary thermal storage rotates to move alternately between the low and high temperature fluid passages so that the first rotary thermal storage constitutes a reforming section for catalytically reforming the reforming material flowing in the low temperature fluid passage to a reformed gas containing hydrogen upon receiving combustion heat of the combustion gas flowing in the high temperature fluid conduit.
