Abstract
A steam generator for a steam bath for generating steam from hot water supplied thereto. The steam generator for a steam bath has a closed main part equipped with a hot-water supply port, an air inlet, a discharge port and a steam outlet. Hot water received from the hot-water supply port is distributed in the main part so as to contact with air coming through the air inlet, and the thus generated steam is discharged through the steam outlet. Warm water formed as a result of steam generation is discharged from the discharge port.
Claims16
A steam generator for a steam bath, comprising:
- a closed main part having a hot-water supply port, an air inlet, a hot-water discharge port and a steam outlet, said steam outlet opening into a room comprising the steam bath to create a steam sauna atmosphere therein;
- a hot-water distributing member provided in said main part for receiving hot water from said hot-water supply port and distributing the received hot water;
- a vertical steam generating member made of a plurality of finned tubes disposed in said main part such that the distributed hot-water flows down along said steam generating member, said steam generating member having a large surface area, such that steam is generated from the hot water flowing down along said steam generating member and the generated steam is discharged from said steam outlet together with air introduced through said air inlet;
- and
- a warm water reservoir to collect discharge from a lower most portion of said steam generating member.
