Abstract
The invention presents a fuel reforming technique for a mobile fuel cell system capable of obtaining a reformed gas composition usable in fuel celleven if vapor temperature supplied from an evaporatorinto a fuel reformervaries significantly. This system comprises meansfor detecting the flow rate of fuel vapor and oxygen to be supplied into the fuel reformerand meansfor detecting at least temperature of fuel vapor to be supplied into the fuel reformer, temperature of oxygen, and temperature of mixed gas of fuel vapor and oxygen, in which the ratio of the flow rate of fuel vapor and the flow rate of oxygen is corrected on the basis of the signal value of the temperature detecting means, and oxygen is supplied depending on the corrected ratio.
