Abstract (en)

The present invention is directed to a boiler (10) comprising a resistance (50) for water heating, a steam exit (31) and a system for temperature and/or pressure regulation inside the boiler, said boiler containing a plate (100) comprising at least one hole for steam passage from the lower part (11) to the upper part (12) of boiler. The boiler according to the invention, when used with water having hardness, in French degrees, lower than or equal to 20, has a lifetime preferably longer than 500 hours, more preferably longer than 1000 hours. In case of combined use with an iron, assuming an average utilisation of about 2 hours per week, this data corresponds to an average lifetime of boiler, with tub water and without maintenance, longer than 5 years, preferably longer than 10 years. Whereas with average lifetime is intended an average time of use of the boiler before the occurring of scale problems affecting the functioning.
