Abstract
A hydrogen generator () includes: a hydrogen generating unit () configured to generate a hydrogen-containing gas by using a raw material gas; a hydro-desulfurizer () configured to remove a sulfur compound in the raw material gas supplied to the hydrogen generating unit (); a first gas channel () through which the raw material gas supplied through the hydro-desulfurizer () to the hydrogen generating unit () flows; a recycle channel () through which the hydrogen-containing gas from the hydrogen generating unit () is supplied to the raw material gas in the first gas channel () located upstream of the hydro-desulfurizer (); a raw material gas supply unit () disposed between the hydro-desulfurizer () and a meeting point where the first gas channel () and the recycle channel () meet; and a first on-off valve () disposed between the raw material gas supply unit () and the hydro-desulfurizer () to close when the hydrogen generator () stops.
