Abstract (en)
Boiler to generate steam in domestic appliances and professional machines, such as ironing or cleaning apparatuses or suchlike, comprising a container (12) able to contain water and connected to feed means (38) able to introduce water inside the container (12), and at least a heat generator (14) to heat the water inside the container (12) and transform it into steam. A water circuit (16), arranged outside the container (12), communicates therewith, so that the same water level (L) present in the container (12) is established in the water circuit (16). Sensor means (18) are associated with the water circuit (16) in correspondence with a pre-determined level (S) and are connected to at least the feed means (38). The sensor means (18) are of the capacitive type and are able to detect at least the presence of the water, in correspondence with the pre-determined level (S), in order to command the feed means (38). <IMAGE>
