Abstract
A fluid reforming apparatus of the present invention includes: a flow channel () in which a catalyst () is fixed to an inner wall; a fluid heating device () which heats a fluid to be reformed by the catalyst () and/or heats the catalyst () in the flow channel (); catalyst temperature measuring devices () which measure temperatures of the catalyst (); and a pressure control device () which controls a pressure of the fluid in the flow channel so that the fluid can have a target pressure. The pressure control device () increases the target pressure when a difference between the temperatures of the catalyst () in a flow direction of the fluid exceeds a predetermined value during a period while the fluid in the flow channel () is being heated up to a target temperature.
