WIRE TYPE MICRO REFORMER AND MICRO FUEL CELL

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a micro reformer 1 and a micro fuel cell 100 using a liquid fuel like methanol. PSOLUTION: This invention provides a micro reformer 1 including a cylindrical tube 10 having an inlet 12 for receiving a liquid fuel and an outlet 14 for emitting hydrogen gas. The micro reformer also includes a heater 20 disposed in the tube 10 for providing a heat source, and a catalyst 30 disposed in the tube 10 for producing hydrogen gas from hydrocarbon-based fuel. According to the invention, the micro reformer 1 and the micro fuel cell 100 can be integrated using a wire type. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
