Abstract
A steam generator for an oven, includes at least one heat transfer element and at least one water conduit which carries water to the heat transfer element. The system optimizes the targeted introduction of steam into a defined space and the removal thereof from the space. This is achieved by means of at least one pressure increasing device which increases the water pressure, such as e.g. a compressed air line through which compressed air is fed to the water.
Claims15
A steam generator for a baking oven, comprising:
- at least one heat transfer element;
- at least one water line which conducts water to the heat transfer element;
- and
- at least one pressure increasing apparatus that increases the pressure of the water.
A baking oven, comprising:
- a housing that forms a baking chamber;
- a door coupled to the housing;
- and
- a steam generator having at least one heat transfer element, at least one water line which conducts water to the heat transfer element, and at least one pressure increasing apparatus that increases the pressure of the water.
A method for generating baking vapor, comprising:
- supplying water to at least one heat transfer element via at least one water line;
- and
- guiding the water vapor which is produced into a baking chamber, wherein pressure of the water is increased.
A method for removing baking vapor from a baking chamber having a steam generator which is connected to the baking chamber and at least one water line and at least one compressed air line, comprising:
- shutting off a water supply to the water line;
- and
- opening a compressed air supply to the compressed air line.
