Abstract

A burner reformer is provided for a power generating system using fuel cell. A burner is contained inside the reformer. The reformer absorbs heat from the burner and other heat source to reduce heat loss and save connecting wires. The present invention avoids flashing back of hydrogen. When fuel is lean, flame would not easily die and the system can thus work stably.
