SATURATED STEAM GENERATOR, STEAM STERILIZER, AND STEAM STERILIZATION METHOD

摘要

A saturated steam generator which is provided with a heat source for heating water to generate saturated steam and which can be small-sized. A saturated steam generator for generating saturated steam by heating water with superheated steam resulting from being super heated in a heat transmission tube (16) inserted into a heat storage tank (10), characterized by the provision of a saturated steam generator tank (12), wherein in the heat storage tank (10), disposed in a heat storage section composed by having a solid heat storage material and a liquid heat storage material filled therein are a heater (44) and a heat transmission tube (16) for heating the solid heat storage material and liquid heat storage material, it being arranged that superheated steam resulting from passing through the heat transmission tube (16) is used as a heat source to heat stored water (22) so as to generate saturated steam.
