Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0317444A1] The present invention relates to a steam generator comprising an enclosure containing a liquid to be vaporised and, inside this enclosure, a rapid vaporisation block comprising at least one electric heating resistance element which is accommodated in a porous body, which is immersed in the liquid, or is situated close to this porous body. <??>This generator is characterised in that it comprises means (17, 27, 28) for varying the level of the liquid in the enclosure (2) as a direct function of the flow of vapour which has to be provided, that is to say for lowering the level when the vapour flow has to be reduced and vice-versa, and means (15) for correlatively adjusting the electrical energy provided to the heating resistance element (6). <IMAGE>
