Abstract
A device for foaming a liquid includes a casing with a turbine arranged inside the casing. A shaft connects an agitator with the turbine. An air supply nozzle is coupled to the casing and a tube is coupled to the casing for conducting a steam supply to drive the turbine. A pipe is connected between the agitator and the turbine to introduce a steam-air mixture to a region of the agitator. The steam-air mixture is whirled together with the liquid when the agitator is immersed in the liquid.
