PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heater efficiently evaporating liquid and converting it into gas in regard to a heater used in production or the like of superheated gas, superheated steam, or the like by heating saturated gas from liquid such as water. SOLUTION: The heater is provided with a heating part 58 provided with a heating element used as a heating source in an interior and a porous material 2 interposed in a periphery of the heating element, and a preheating part 55 in a periphery of the heating part 58. Since there is a structure wherein an object to be heated is heated by the preheating part 55, and then heated by the heating part 58, a conventionally commonly used inexpensive heating element can be used to lower costs, the preheating part and the porous material 2 are interposed between the heating element and an outermost casing, and loss due to heat dissipation to the outside is reduced. By this, the heater becomes small, highly efficient, and inexpensive. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
