Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel processor that can reduce reforming catalyst deterioration caused by thermal deformation of a structure. The fuel processor includes a reformerthat is fed with fuel gasto refine hydrogen-rich reformed gasby a reaction of a reforming catalyst. A plurality of partition platesfor dividing the reforming catalystare provided in a space filled with the reforming catalystbetween an internal cylinderand an external cylinder. All the partition platesare cantilevered from the external cylinder, preventing the partition platesfrom coming into contact with each other in temperature variations. This can reduce deterioration such as crushing or powdering that is caused by a compressive stress of the reforming catalyst
