CA 2583002

Provided is a hydrogen generator which is capable of reducing a size of an entire apparatus and reducing a running cost by utilizing heat of a heat exchanger (1) for hydrogen reforming in a reformer (2), and which can particularly preferably be used in a facility such as a hospital, a restaurant, or a hotel utilizing both steam and electricity, and a fuel cell system using the hydrogen generator. The hydrogen generator includes the reformer (2) for generating hydrogen H2 from a fuel gas G and steam H2O incorporated in a fuel gas passage (12) of the heat exchanger (1) provided with a water pipe (13). The hydrogen generator utilizes a part of heat of the heat exchanger (1) for hydrogen reforming performed in the reformer (2). The hydrogen generator includes the reformer (2), a converter (3) for generating hydrogen from carbon monoxide generated in the reformer and steam, and a CO remover (4) for removing a carbon monoxide gas generated in the converter (3). The reformer (2), the converter (3), and the CO remover (4) are arranged in the flue gas passage (12) of the heat exchanger (1).
