In a fuel evaporator provided with an evaporation chamber 11 that produces raw fuel gas FG by vaporizing raw fuel liquid by heat received from a plurality of heat medium tubes 12 through which a high temperature heat medium passes, a raw fuel injection portion that injects raw fuel liquid onto the heat medium tubes 12 is situated in the evaporation chamber 11. The heat medium tubes 12 are arranged sparsely near the raw fuel injection portion and densely away from it. A catalytic combustor 20 is provided adjacent to the bottom surface 11b of the evaporation chamber 11 to form the high temperature heat medium. Such a fuel evaporator efficiently vaporizes raw fuel liquid and can be suitably applied in a fuel cell system for a fuel cell-powered automobile.
A fuel evaporator for a fuel cell system with an evaporation chamber that vaporizes raw fuel liquid with a heat medium,
A fuel cell system provided with a fuel evaporator having an evaporation chamber that vaporizes raw fuel liquid with a high temperature heat medium and an adjacent catalytic combustor that supplies said high temperature heat medium thereto, while also comprising a reformer that reforms raw fuel gas formed by vaporization of said raw fuel liquid into raw fuel gas, a fuel cell, and a raw fuel liquid tank that supplies said raw fuel liquid to said fuel evaporator.
A fuel evaporator for a fuel cell system provided with an evaporation chamber which vaporizes raw fuel liquid by heat received from a plurality of heat medium tubes through which a heat medium flows to produce raw fuel gas,
