- the hydrogen-containing gas discharged from the reformer 1 is subjected to a water gas shift reaction in the shifter and a selective oxidation reaction of carbon monoxide in the CO remover. 2 Hydrogen gas is generated with a concentration of Oppm or less.
- This hydrogen gas is supplied to the anode 7a of the fuel cell 7 via the hydrogen gas supply path 10 and used as a reaction gas for power generation of the fuel cell 7.
- the output of the frame rod 102 is equal to or less than the “set value” in step S310, it is determined that the raw material is not ignited by the igniter 103 (ignition mistake).
- step S312 the raw material supply to the combustion space 52 using the raw material supplier 3 is stopped (step S311). Then, it is determined whether or not “N” representing the number of ignition tries is less than the upper limit number of ignitions “NMAX” (step S312).
- step S312 "N" force representing number of ignition tries If lower than upper limit number of ignitions "NMAX" ("YES" in step S312), the process returns to step S303, and the next ignition try operation is performed.
- the supply of the raw material is stopped in step S311, the inside of the combustion space 52 is filled with air by the air continuously supplied to the combustion space 52. Therefore, even if the operation of the igniter 103 is turned on again in step 305, no irregular situation such as abnormal combustion of the combustor 5 occurs.
- step S312 if “N” representing the number of ignition attempts is not less than the upper limit number of ignition “NMAX” (“NO” in step S312), the combustor is in addition to the misignition of the raw material by the igniter 103. 5 is judged to have some abnormality, and the operation of the hydrogen generator 100 etc. is stopped
- step S309 The operation of the igniter 103 is turned off!
- step S409 of the ignition sequence in FIG. the detection operation of the frame rod 102 may be executed, and then the operation of the igniter 103 may be turned off in step S410!
- step S410 the description using the flowchart is omitted.
- the ignition OFF operation of the igniter 103 in step S410 and the raw material supply stop operation in step S411 are omitted, and ignition is performed.
- the operation state of the igniter 103 and the material supply by the material supplier 3 may be continued.
- the operation ON operation of the igniter in step 405 can be omitted in the second and subsequent ignition tries. Therefore, in this case, the upper limit number of ignition times “NMAX” is accurately calculated from step S403 to step S41.
- the upper limit repeat number between 2 is “NMAX”.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of measurement of the temporal change of the frame rod output during the ignition operation by the igniter. Here, it is assumed that the ignition operation by the igniter 103 is continuously performed.
- the horizontal axis in Fig. 5 shows the elapsed time of the starting operation of the ignition operation by the igniter 103, and the vertical axis shows the frame rod output.
- the relationship between the two is the first combustion after the desulfurizer 4 is replaced. It shows the case of the ignition operation in operation (dotted line) and not !, and the case of the ignition operation in normal combustion operation (dashed line).
- the upper limit “5 (—)” is set for the frame rod output.
- the frame rod output becomes larger than “0”. If the flame rod output is “1 (one)” or more, it is considered that the combustion of the raw material is stably performed in the combustion space 52.
- the desulfurization agent that has not been exposed to the raw material after the replacement of the desulfurizer 4 has a high adsorption capacity, when the raw material is passed for the first time, in addition to the sulfur compounds in the raw material, part of the raw material itself is adsorbed. Is done. Therefore, the amount of raw material supplied to the combustion space 52 is reduced, and the time until the mixture of the raw material and combustion air enters the combustion range in the combustion space 52 (that is, the flame rod output is “1 (one)”. The time until reaching the timing exceeding () is considered to be longer.
- the upper limit ignition number “NMAX” when the operation of the igniter 103 is turned ON / OFF is as follows: Can be estimated.
- the raw material combustion of the combustor 5 is about 5 minutes from the start of the ignition operation for the reasons described above. It is stable after a lapse. Therefore, in this case, the frame rod output is predicted to exceed “1 (—)” by the 10th ignition try. For this reason, if the upper limit ignition number “NMA X” is set to about “15 times”, it can be expected that the combustion of the raw material in the combustor 5 is stable without any trouble.
- the upper limit ignition number “NMAX” is set to “15 times”, the desulfurizer 4 is replaced even in the case of the ignition operation in the normal combustion operation. Even in the case of the ignition operation in the first combustion operation, the combustion of the combustor 5 can be performed without any trouble.
- the upper limit number of ignitions “NMAX” is set to “15 times” even though the raw material combustion of the combustor 5 can be stabilized in the first ignition try. This may delay the detection of combustor 5 abnormalities other than raw material ignition mistakes. In addition, this hinders prompt response to the abnormality, and may hinder proper restoration of the hydrogen generator 100 and the like.

- step S601 If the desulfurizer replacement signal is ON in step S601, the CPU of controller 8 will change the upper limit ignition number “NMAX” from “5 times” to “after the desulfurizer replacement based on this desulfurizer replacement ON signal”. The upper limit ignition number corresponding to the first combustion operation is increased to “15 times” (step S602). Then, the desulfurizer replacement signal is turned OFF (step S604), and the CPU of the controller 8 executes the operations after step S605.

- the CPU of the controller 8 sets the upper limit of the "ignition confirmation time" as in step S602 based on the desulfurizer replacement ON signal acquired from the replacement signal acquirer in step S601.
- the corresponding upper limit ignition count “NMAX” is changed to a number greater than the upper limit ignition count in normal combustion operation. Therefore, in this process, the CPU of the controller 8 functions as an upper limit changer that changes the upper limit of the ignition confirmation time, and the exchange signal acquisition unit acquires a change instruction for acquiring a signal related to this change instruction. Functions as the acquirer 101.
- the change instruction acquisition unit 101 is a touch panel type operation screen shown in FIG. 9, and can execute the following processing based on a signal input by a screen touch operation on the operation screen by the operator. .

Determination is made (step S801).
- step S801 when the operation sequence is the operation after replacement of the desulfurizer, the signal indicating this “operation after replacement of the desulfurizer” indicates the upper limit number of ignitions corresponding to the first combustion operation after replacement of the desulfurizer. It is input to the CPU of the controller 8 as a change instruction signal to be changed. Further, when the operation sequence is operation after replacement of the desulfurizer in step S801, the CPU of the controller 8 sets the upper limit ignition number “NMAX” to “5 times” based on the change instruction signal for the first time after replacement of the desulfurizer. Increase the maximum number of ignitions to “15” corresponding to the combustion operation (step S802). Then, the CPU of the controller 8 executes the operations after step S805.

And a change instruction acquisition unit 101 to be obtained. Specifically, in the present embodiment, “operation after desulfurizer replacement” is selected by the operator, and the change instruction acquisition unit 101 is changed to the upper limit number of ignitions corresponding to the first combustion operation after desulfurizer replacement. When the change instruction signal to be obtained is acquired, the CPU of the controller 8 as the upper limit changer is configured to increase the upper limit ignition number “NMAX” from “5 times” to “15 times”.
