Abstract
The present invention is intended to prevent lifetime degradation of a conductor tube by reducing heat deterioration at output ports of the conductor tube. A superheated steam generator generates superheated steam by heating steam flowing through a spirally wound cylindrical conductor tube. The conductor tube is axially short-circuited and subjected to induction heating by a magnetic flux generation mechanism disposed on one or both of inner and outer sides of the conductor tube. Output ports of the conductor tube are disposed at axial midportions of the conductor tube.

A superheated steam generator configured to generate superheated steam by heating steam, the superheated steam generator comprising:
- a spirally wound cylindrical conductor tube through which the steam flows;
- and
- a magnetic flux generation mechanism disposed on one or both of inner and outer sides of the conductor tube, wherein
- the conductor tube is axially short-circuited and subjected to induction heating by the magnetic flux generation mechanism to thereby generate the superheated steam, and
- an output port of the conductor tube is disposed at an axial midportion of the conductor tube.
