Disclosed herein is a once-through boiler capable of achieving a steep increase in temperature of steam via reheating of the steam within a combustion chamber, thereby improving heat and energy efficiency. The boiler comprises a body (110), a steam supply unit (120), and a heating unit (130). The body includes a housing (111), a cover (112), and a guide pipe (113). The steam supply unit includes an annular water tank (122) in a lower region of the body, a steam supply chamber (124) in an uppermost region of the body, water pipes (121) amounted on the water tank, a low-temperature steam inlet pipe (125) and a high-temperature steam outlet pipe (127) mounted at opposite sides of the water pipes, and a steam heating pipe (126) to communicate the inlet pipe with the outlet pipe. The heating unit includes a burner (131), and a combustion chamber (132).
A once-through boiler, wherein a primarily generated low-temperature steam, filled in a steam supply chamber, is introduced into a low-temperature steam inlet pipe to be reheated while passing through a steam heating pipe mounted in a combustion chamber, thereby being discharged to the outside via a high-temperature steam outlet pipe in a high-temperature steam state, wherein:
