A thin type reformer for a fuel cell is provided, and includes a
substrate, fuel filling portion, reformer portion, CO remover, and cover.
The substrate forms a passage within. The fuel filling portion fills the
passage with fuel. The reformer portion forms a passage to one side of
the fuel filling portion in the substrate, and the CO remover forms a
passage at an opposite side of the fuel filling portion in the substrate.
The cover covers the top of the substrate and seals the passages. The
fuel filling portion partitions the reformer portion's heat absorbing
reaction and the CO remover's heat radiating reaction and induces a
reforming reaction. The reacting efficiencies of the reformer portion and
the CO remover substantially increase. Because a compact air supplying
pump can be used due to an inner pressure reduction in the CO remover,
the entire device can be miniaturized.
