FIELD: torches.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an apparatus for generating heat and hydrogen. Device comprises housing (2), torch combustion chamber (3) formed in housing (2), torch (7) having fuel injection hole (9) and air supply hole (11) for the torch burning in torch combustion chamber (3), a fuel supply device for supplying fuel to fuel injection port (9), an air supply device for supplying air to air supply port (11) and reforming catalyst (4) that is disposed in housing (2) and to which the combustion gases of the torch formed in torch combustion chamber (3) are supplied. In this case, the air supply device is provided with heat exchange element (13a) for heating the air supplied to air supply opening (11). In addition, the air supply device is provided with a switching device configured with the possibility to switch the airflow path for introducing external air into air supply hole (11). At that torch (7) having fuel injection hole (9) and air supply opening (11) is located at one end of housing (2), and gas outlet (25) is located at the other end of housing (2).
EFFECT: technical result is to ensure that the reforming catalyst is not degraded.
