The invention describes a method for transforming a liquid (8) into a gaseous state for a cutting process with a water-steam cutting device (1), consisting of a torch (6), an evaporator (25), an energy supply and a supply line (31) for a liquid (8), an appropriate temperature (27) being generated for evaporation of the liquid (8). To create a method of this type it is now provided that the temperature (27) is regulated during operation such that a sensor (28) senses the temperature (27) of the evaporator (25) and transmits it to a regulation unit which correspondingly supplies a heating element (24) with the energy necessary and by which a required pressure (34) of the liquid (8) supplied to the torch (6) is regulated so that an approximately constant temperature (27) of the evaporated liquid (8) is provided for a cutting process.
A method for transforming a liquid (8) into a gaseous state for a cutting process with a water-steam cutting device (1), consisting of a torch (6), which includes a heating element (24), an evaporator (25), an energy supply and a supply line (31) for a liquid (8), wherein an appropriate temperature (27) is generated for evaporation of the liquid (8), wherein the temperature (27) is controlled during operation such that a sensor (28) senses the temperature (27) of the evaporator (25) and transmits it to a regulation unit which correspondingly supplies the heating element (24) with the energy required and by which a required pressure (34) of the liquid (8) supplied to the torch (6) is regulated so that an approximately constant temperature (27) of the evaporated liquid (8) is provided for a cutting process.
A torch for transforming a liquid (8) into a gaseous state for a cutting process with a water-steam cutting device (1), with an evaporator (25), an energy supply and a supply line (31) for a liquid (8), wherein an appropriate temperature (27) is required for evaporation of the liquid (8), and a heating element (24) is integrated into the torch (6), wherein a sensor (28) is provided which senses the heat generated by the heating element (24) and which sensor (28) is connected with a regulation unit provided for the heating element (24).
