A boiler system has a boiler and a combustion amount control unit. The boiler includes a boiler body, a discharge unit, a discharge passage, a feedwater preheater and a feedwater temperature measuring unit. The feedwater preheater includes a heat exchanger. The feedwater temperature measuring unit measures a feedwater temperature that is the temperature of the feedwater flowing in the heat exchanger. The combustion amount control unit controls combustion amount in the boiler, and has a feedwater temperature threshold as a threshold relating to the feedwater temperature. The combustion amount control unit minimizes the combustion amount in the boiler in a case where the feedwater temperature measured by the feedwater temperature measuring unit is the feedwater temperature threshold or lower.

Boiler efficiency is further improved and the whole boiler body is slimmed down by totally improving heat transfer surfaces confronting gas flow passages, i.e., by forming the heat transfer surface structure into three stages, and moreover by making effective use of the whole heat transfer surfaces of water tubes equipped with fully circumferentially finned water tubes. The water-tube boiler includes: an annular first water tube array made up of a plurality of water tubes and having a first opening; an annular second water tube array made up of a plurality of water tubes and having a second opening, the second water tube array being arranged outside the first water tube array; a combustion chamber provided inside the first water tube array; and a gas flow passage leading from the first opening to the second opening and defined between the two water tube arrays, wherein heat transfer surfaces confronting the gas flow passage are structured into a high-temperature heat transfer surface structure, a middle-temperature heat transfer surface structure, and a low-temperature heat transfer surface structure, as viewed from an upstream side along gas flow.
