Abstract
A fuel reformer which is relatively simple in structure and can be manufactured at a low cost is provided. A fuel reformer includes: a high-temperature unithaving a combustion chamberA in which fuel is burned, and a reforming sectiondisposed on the outer peripheral surface side of the combustion chamberA and filled with a reforming catalyst in an annular shape; a medium-low-temperature unithaving a shift converter section () located on the side where the medium-low-temperature unitis connected to the high-temperature unitand filled with a shift converter catalyst in a cylindrical shape, and a selective oxidation sectionlocated on the side opposite the side where the medium-low-temperature unitis connected to the high-temperature unitand filled with a selective oxidation catalyst in a cylindrical shape; a connection flow pipefor supplying reformate having passed through the reforming section of the high-temperature unitto the shift converter section side in the medium-low-temperature unit; and a vesselfor integrally housing the high-temperature unitand the medium-low-temperature unitconnected by the connection flow pipe
