Abstract

An ECU detects various conditions of a home fuel gas refining system before starting operation of the home fuel gas refining system using pressure sensors and temperature sensors. Then, it is determined whether the detected conditions are abnormal or not. If abnormal conditions are determined, a self-repair process is performed for a predetermined abnormal condition among the conditions determined as abnormal.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a method of controlling operation of a fuel gas production apparatus for reforming a hydrogen-containing fuel, which contains, for example, hydrocarbon or alcohol, into a reformed gas, and refining the reformed gas to produce a hydrogen-rich fuel gas.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] For example, hydrogen production apparatuses (fuel gas production apparatuses) for reforming a hydrocarbon fuel such as natural gas or a hydrogen-containing fuel such as an alcohol (e.g., methanol) into a hydrogen-containing gas (reformed gas), and refining the hydrogen-containing gas to produce a fuel gas supplied to a fuel cell or the like are adopted conventionally.

[0005] For example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-20102 discloses a hydrogen production apparatus shown in FIG. 15. The hydrogen production apparatus includes a compressor 1, a hydrodesulfurization unit 2, a...
