1. A catalytic combustion system comprising:
a catalytic combustion apparatus having a heater capable of heating fuel supplied to a catalyst;
an actuator supplying oxidant gas to the catalytic combustion apparatus;
an injector injecting the fuel into the catalytic combustion apparatus; and
a controller configured to control an injection amount of the fuel to be injected into the catalytic combustion apparatus in response to output of the heater,
wherein the controller is configured to limit the injection amount when a temperature of the catalytic combustion apparatus exceeds a predetermined threshold, the injection amount limited so that a latent heat of vaporization of the fuel supplied to the catalytic combustion apparatus is equal to or less than the output of the heater.
