Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a steam generator (120) for a garment care device. The steam generator comprises a steam generator body (122) comprising a steaming surface (124). An arrangement of spatially separated protrusions (126) project away from the steaming surface. A water inlet (128) is arranged to supply water towards the steaming surface. The steaming surface (124) extends away from the water inlet (128) in a first direction (Dl). The steaming surface (124) comprises a first portion (124A) proximal to the water inlet, and a second portion (124B) extending from the first portion in the first direction. The arrangement of spatially separated protrusions comprises a first sub-arrangement of protrusions (126A) projecting from the first portion, with each of the protrusions of the first sub-arrangement having a truncated pyramidal shape. The arrangement of spatially separated protrusions further comprises a second sub-arrangement of protrusions (126B) projecting from the second portion, with each of the protrusions of the second sub-arrangement having a pyramidal shape.
