Steam generator with direct evaporation

A steam press equipped with a generator with direct evaporation, without accumulation of pressurised steam, comprising:

• a press sole,
• a first plate fast with the press sole and provided with an inlet channel for a pressurized fluid to be evaporated,
• a second plate independent of the first plate and located therebeneath
• a steam recovery cavity in communication with a peripheral part of the first and second plates,
• a steam chamber located under the second plate immediately above the press sole and communicating with the steam recovery cavity,
• elastic return means abutting on the press sole and exerting a pressing action on the second plate to apply the latter against the lower face of the first plate, and
• an electric heating resistor located at least approximately in a plane parallel to said first and second plates, wherein the pressurized fluid inlet channel opens out freely from the first plate perpendicularly thereto and to the second plate, into a central part of the generator, and has an outlet diameter greater than about 2.5 mm.
