Description

DESCRIPTION

STEAM GENERATOR FOR SAUNAS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is the object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes a steam generator for saunas that has the particularity of having the electrical components removed from the boiler, thus supporting less temperatures than current generators.

The present invention is characterized by the special design and configuration of each and every one of the parts and particularly the fact that the electrical components are separated from the steam generator itself.

Therefore, the present invention falls within the scope of steam generators for saunas.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The steam bath or Turkish bath as it is also called, allows you to enjoy a pleasant sensation of well-being through its mild temperature and its high degree of humidity (100%), also cleaning the respiratory system by breathing steam-laden air. of water. The steam bath will also hydrate our skin like no other means.

Until now, steam generators for sauna are larger elements as they house all the components in the same casing, requiring a larger space. In addition, having the electrical components are close to the boiler so they support more temperature than is desirable.

Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art, particularly the fact of having the electronic components close to the boiler with the consequent heating, lower performance, greater possibilities of breakdown and difficulties in accessing them. developing a steam generator such as the one described below and is reflected in its essentiality in the first claim.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is a steam generator for saunas that comprises a steam generator externally protected by an insulating material and comprising a boiler and a water tank attached to the boiler but separated from it where the boiler has an opening through which is introduced an armored resistance and fixed on the boiler through a watertight joint, attached to the water tank is a box of maximum and minimum water level probes, associated with said box of probes are a set of valves, on the one hand an inlet valve and an outlet valve, where all the above materials are on a lower cooling support, all of which is covered by a casing that is closed by a closing cover provided with electrical power connections, additionally, the system has an electronic control box for all the equipment housed outside the closure housing so that that the electronic box is not exposed to the high temperature of the steam generator.

The maximum and minimum water level probes are housed inside a protective tube so that the entry of water does not destabilize the measurement value of the probes.

The sauna generator also has a control electronics that is arranged outside the housing that houses the rest of the elements in order to avoid being subjected to high temperatures and to be able to carry out maintenance in a simpler way.

The steam generator is distributed in several bodies so the space can be more reduced to place all the elements that the steam generator needs, in addition the electrical components when removed from the boiler support lower temperatures and less possibility of failures.

This steam generator being designed in a horizontal position can be placed in the false ceiling of the bathroom, the heat of the steam being more effective due to its proximity, also the water and electrical power connections are less expensive due to its proximity

Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific elements used herein have the meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. technique to which this invention belongs. Methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice of the present invention.

Throughout the description and the claims, the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge in part of the description and part of the practice of the invention.

EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where by way of illustration and not limitation, the following has been represented.

In figure 1, we can see a perspective representation of all the elements and their relative arrangement.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

In view of the figures, a preferred embodiment of the proposed invention is described below.

In figure 1 we can see a fixing support (7) for cooling on which a closing casing (12) is placed and is closed by means of a front closing cover (10), defining an interior space in which they house all the elements.

On the fixing support (7) the steam generator (1) made of stainless steel and externally protected by means of an insulator is arranged. The steam generator (1) comprises a boiler (1.1) and a water feed tank (1.2) separated from the boiler (1.1), attached to the water tank (1.2) is a box of probes (2) where the connections (3) for a maximum level probe and a minimum level probe. Next to the probe box (2) there is an inlet valve (4), another outlet valve (5).

On the water tank (1.2) of the steam generator (1) there is a steam outlet (15) and a safety valve (6). A steel screen can be arranged on the steam outlet (15) to prevent drops of water from escaping, letting only the steam escape.

The water level probes are housed inside a protective tube (16) and this in turn housed inside the probe box (2). The use of a protective tube (16) is to avoid that the pressure of the inlet water does not destabilize the values of the probes.

The steam generator for saunas comprises an electronic box (9) for controlling the entire steam generator and which, as indicated above, is housed outside the closing casing (12), therefore it is protected from being exposed to high temperatures. temperatures and the overall final volume is reduced.

The boiler (1.1) of the steam generator (1) has an inlet opening (14) inside it through which an armored resistance (8) is introduced, its connection is sealed by means of a watertight gasket ( 13).

On the front closure (10) of the closure casing (12) are arranged the electrical connections (11) for powering the sauna.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is stated that, within its essentiality, it may be carried out in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example. , and to which the protection sought will also be achieved, provided that it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
