A fuel reformer which is relatively simple in structure and can be
manufactured at a low cost is provided. A fuel reformer includes: a
high-temperature unit 2 having a combustion chamber 5A in which fuel is
burned, and a reforming section 7 disposed on the outer peripheral
surface side of the combustion chamber 5A and filled with a reforming
catalyst in an annular shape; a medium-low-temperature unit 3 having a
shift converter section (21, 26) located on the side where the
medium-low-temperature unit 3 is connected to the high-temperature unit 2
and filled with a shift converter catalyst in a cylindrical shape, and a
selective oxidation section 36 located on the side opposite the side
where the medium-low-temperature unit 3 is connected to the
high-temperature unit 2 and filled with a selective oxidation catalyst in
a cylindrical shape; a connection flow pipe 19 for supplying reformate
having passed through the reforming section of the high-temperature unit
2 to the shift converter section side in the medium-low-temperature unit
3; and a vessel 13 for integrally housing the high-temperature unit 2 and
the medium-low-temperature unit 3 connected by the connection flow pipe
19.
