Abstract

Main units which includes a reforming reactor and a combustor, both piled together having a heat conductive, partition wall therebetween, are located in a manner such that the combustor sides thereof face each other, with an auxiliary unit for supplying fuel to each combustor being put between the main units. Raw material gas to be reformed is supplied to the reforming reactor through a passage formed in each unit, and then discharged through another passage formed in each unit. Fuel is supplied to the auxiliary unit through yet another passage formed in the main unit, so that it may flow uniformly dispersing in the combustor via the auxiliary unit.
