Abstract
The present invention relates to a cooking oven with at least one convection heating device (20). The convection heating device (20) is arranged in a rear wall (16) of the oven cavity (10). The convection heating device (20) includes at least two fans (26) and at least one ring element (28). The fans (22) are arranged side-by-side at the rear wall (16). A steam generator is provided for generating steam. At least two steam injectors (30) are provided, wherein each steam injector (30) corresponds with at least one fan (26). The steam injector (30) is directed along the radial axis of the corresponding fan (26), so that the steam is injected along the radial axis of said fan (26).
Claims11
A cooking oven with at least one convection heating device (20), wherein:
- the convection heating device (20) is arranged in a rear wall (16) of the oven cavity (10),
- the convection heating device (20) includes a first fan (26) and a second fan (26) and at least one ring element (28),
- the first fan (26) and the second fan (26) are arranged side-by-side at the rear wall (16) such that a rotational axis of the first fan (26) and a rotational axis of the second fan (26) are horizontally spaced and coplanar,
- a steam generator is provided for generating steam,
- a first steam injector (30) and a second steam injector (30), wherein the first steam injector (30) and second steam injector (30) are connected to the steam generator,
- the first steam injector (30) corresponds with the first fan (26) and the second steam injector (30) corresponds with the second fan (26),
- the first steam injector (30) is directed along a first radial axis of the first fan (26), so that the steam is injected in a first horizontal direction along said first radial axis towards the first fan (26),
- the second steam injector (30) is directed along a second radial axis of the second fan (26), so that the steam is injected in a second horizontal direction opposite the first horizontal direction and along said second radial axis towards the second fan (26),
- the first steam injector (30) and the second steam injector (30) are both arranged between the first fan (26) and the second fan (26) such that the first steam injector (30) is vertically spaced from and extends parallel to the second steam injector (30), and
- the ring element (28) is configured to generate heat and completely circumscribes the first fan (26) and the second fan (26).
