<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steam supply apparatus and a steam supply system capable of stably generating steam. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for supplying steam to a heating apparatus 3 includes an accumulator 33 accumulating steam boiled by solar heat, a steam pipe 36 for supplying the steam accumulated in the accumulator 33 to the heating apparatus 3, and a vacuum pump 61 reducing the pressure in the steam pipe 36 to induce a boiling state. The vacuum pump 61 reduces the pressure in the steam pipe 36 only when a boiling point of steam is lower than a boiling point at atmospheric pressure. Thus, steam can be always stably supplied to the heating apparatus 3. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
