Abstract (en)
[origin: JPH01118002A] PURPOSE: To reduce the size and a cost of a steam generator for steam bath by a method wherein air at the periphery of a housing is supplied to the columnar housing having a water bath to introduce air by electric heating during operation by a blower, and circulated through the housing and a water pass. CONSTITUTION: A steam generator 1 is provided with a columnar housing 2 formed in a triangular shape in cross section. A coil resistance heating element 3IV is arranged in a water pass 3 to operate the steam generator. The size of the water pass 3 is set to a comparatively low value so that liquid is rapidly heated to temperature approximately equal to a boiling point. Air is introduced by a blower 4 is guided to a pipe 3" through an annular passage. By effecting bubbling through injection of air in the water bath, a contact area is increased and an amount of a liquid component in air is increased. Further, by circulating air, temperature distribution in a steam bath room is also further improved than a simple convection. Further, water brought into steam through circulation is returned to the water bath 3. A steam generator is formed in a small size and formed in a module unit having size suitable for a steam bath room.
