The invention relates to a thin micro reforming apparatus used in a fuel
cell system. The reforming apparatus includes a substrate having a flow
path formed therein, and a fuel inlet portion for introducing fuel to the
flow path of the substrate. The fuel inlet portion allows the fuel to
flow through a predetermined length of a channel, thereby preheating the
fuel. The reforming apparatus also includes an evaporator having a flow
path for gasifying liquid fuel, and a reformer for reforming fuel into
hydrogen gas via heat absorption reaction. The reforming apparatus
further includes a CO remover for removing CO gas contained in the
hydrogen gas via heat generation reaction, and a cover for sealing the
flow paths of the substrate. The channel of the fuel inlet portion
surrounds the evaporator, reformer and CO remover, thereby facilitating
insulation at the sides of the reforming apparatus and increasing heat
efficiency.
