Abstract
A reformer () reforms hydrocarbon fuel and generates reformate gas. A first carbon monoxide oxidizer () and second carbon monoxide oxidizer () disposed in series decrease the carbon monoxide concentration of the reformate gas by a prefential oxidation. The air for the preferential oxidation is supplied to the carbon monoxide oxidizer () from a compressor (). The reformer () consumes the water heated by the reaction heat of the first carbon monoxide oxidizer (). The water amount supplied for the reformer () increases as a fuel reforming requirement of the reformer () increases. When the fuel reforming requirement increases, the water heating capability of the first carbon monoxide oxidizer () is enhanced with a sufficient response by increasing the proportion of air supplied to the first carbon monoxide oxidizer ().
