Abstract
A reforming catalyst () induces an isomerization reforming reaction and a decomposition reforming reaction of a gasoline fuel. Injectors () supply an isomerized fuel generated by the isomerization reforming reaction and a decomposed fuel generated by the decomposition reforming reaction respectively to the internal combustion engine (). The ratio of the isomerization reforming reaction and the decomposition reforming reaction depends on a catalyst temperature, and can be altered arbitrarily by controlling an air supply amount to the catalyst () via an air amount regulating valve () and a fuel supply amount to the catalyst () via a fuel injector () and thereby controlling the catalyst temperature.
