  • Publication number: 20250067225
    Abstract: An engine system includes: a reformer including a catalyst for decomposing fuel into hydrogen and configured to reform the fuel to generate a reformed gas containing the hydrogen; a temperature detection unit configured to detect a temperature of the reformed gas; a rotation fluctuation detection unit configured to detect an amount of rotation fluctuation of an engine; and a deterioration detection unit configured to detect whether reforming performance of the catalyst of the reformer is deteriorated based on detection values of the temperature detection unit and the rotation fluctuation detection unit, wherein when, in an idling period of the engine, the amount of rotation fluctuation of the engine is equal to or greater than a second threshold in a state where the temperature of the reformed gas is equal to or higher than a first threshold, the deterioration detection unit determines that the reforming performance of the catalyst is deteriorated.
