Abstract
A bathroom sauna device having a heating device for heating air in a bathroom, a humidifying device for humidifying the air in the bathroom, and an airflow path for sending the air, which is adjusted in temperature and humidity by the heating device and humidifying device, to the bathroom. The temperature and humidity of the air in the bathroom are controlled by the heating device and humidifying device to a temperature and humidity immediately before which a human body starts sweating.
Claims3
A bathroom sauna device comprising:
- a heating device for heating air in an airflow path for supplying air to a bathroom chamber;
- a humidifying device for providing particles of water to the air in the air in the airflow path;
- a water particle crusher for crushing the particles of water into fine particles of water having a diameter of less than 100μm;
- an eliminator for collecting relatively larger-sized ones of the fine particles so that substantially only fine particles having less than a predetermined diameter humidify the air;
- a temperature sensor for monitoring a temperature of the air in the bathroom chamber;
- and
- a control unit configured to control an amount of water supplied to the humidifying device and a degree by which the air in the airflow path is heated by the heating device based upon the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor so that the temperature of the bathroom chamber is substantially equal to a value which is immediately before human perspiration.
