Definitions

  • Sauna heater switchable from dry sauna operation to steam sauna operation consisting of a jacket made of heat-resistant material, which is held in a frame, with an air-permeable basket arranged on the top for holding stones and with a heating device, with the heater being fed to the open floor
  • supply air flows through the heater and can exit into the sauna room at the top, as well as with an evaporator trough arranged below the heater at a distance from the bottom thereof for receiving liquid and a heating device provided within the evaporator trough.
  • a sauna heater is known in which the basket for holding stones can be removed from the heater frame and replaced by a water container in which heating rods protrude surrounded by pockets open from below.
  • the pockets protrude above the water surface and their upper openings can be closed and opened more or less by means of flaps that can be operated together.
  • the heat from the heating elements can either heat the air flowing through it for the sauna room or the water, which leads to higher air humidity in the sauna room leads.
  • An oxygen-containing mixed air climate cannot be achieved.
  • this known sauna heater there is an evaporator trough below it at a distance from the bottom for receiving liquid is provided within which a heating device is installed.
  • the heating device can be switched on or off at predeterminable temperature values of the controllable heating device of the furnace.
  • the flat evaporator pan under the oven which is still open at the top, also has the disadvantage that dust can accumulate.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a sauna heater with which a switch from dry sauna operation to steam sauna operation and vice versa is possible in a simple and convenient manner.
  • a safe and reliable control of the amount of steam, steam temperature and air temperature should be possible.
  • the invention is based on the medically very important task of not generating droplet mist, but steam in the form of gaseous molecules of very small dimensions, which are many times smaller than the finest mist.
  • one or more steam guide tubes extend from the evaporator trough to the steam outlet on the top of the furnace.
  • the fresh supply air flows through an opening into the evaporator trough during steam bath operation.
  • the steam is led through the heater via the steam guide pipe leading into the evaporator pan and exits into the sauna room at the top of the heater.
  • the invention is such that the evaporator trough is closed on all sides except for the openings for the supply air and the connection openings for the steam conduit.
  • the evaporator pan can have a cover facing the bottom of the oven, in which the openings for the fresh supply air are arranged. In this way, the liquid for steam generation is in a closed container and can neither contaminate nor evaporate unintentionally.
  • a filling container for refilling liquid into the evaporator trough is expediently provided at the upper end of the steam guide tube in the region of the steam outlet and serves as a steam outlet opening when the evaporator trough is full.
  • the sieve for the steam outlet can be inserted on a spacer that can also serve as a tray for medicinal herbs or medicinal herbs in essence form.
  • the escaping steam flows into the sauna room as mixed air and has an excellent medicinal effect.
  • oxygen-containing mixed air is distributed in the finest distribution from the evaporator trough to the upper end of the heater to the outlet opening, without these vapors penetrating hot zones and the effectiveness of essential oils, essences or pure medicinal herbs being impaired.
  • the fresh air flowing into the evaporator pan through the supply air openings and the intake air from the cabin are thus neutralized. Water consumption is also reduced.
  • an additional convection is generated by the installation of the steam riser, which makes a fan unnecessary, which would destroy a favorable sauna climate and a medically favorable temperature stratification.
  • the type of arrangement of the evaporator pan with the steam riser and the resultant conduction of the oxygen-containing mixed air from the evaporator trough to the steam outlet into the cabin also prevents the risk of burning or scalding the sauna user through splashes of boiling water.
  • the drawing shows a sauna heater according to the invention in a schematic representation in section.
  • a sauna heater 1 is set up near a supply air opening 11 provided in wall 31.
  • the sauna heater 1 consists of a frame 2, which carries a jacket 3 made of a heat-resistant material, for example ceramic.
  • a basket 4 for receiving stones 5 is suspended, the bottom surface of which is provided with air passage openings 6.
  • a heating device 7 is attached to the frame 2 below the basket 4 and connected to an electrical connection 8.
  • a temperature controller is provided for the heating device 7.
  • an evaporator pan 10 filled with liquid, preferably water, is arranged in the frame 2 such that a sufficient distance remains between the bottom 9 of the furnace 1 and the evaporator pan 10. This distance enables the fresh supply air flowing in through the supply air opening 11 to be unhindered in the sauna operation.
  • the evaporator trough 10 has openings 12 for the supply of fresh air, which are infinitely adjustable by means of a slide 13.
  • a heating device 14 is connected to an electrical connection 15.
  • the opening 16 of the evaporator pan 10 facing the furnace 1 is covered with a cover 17, from which one or more steam guide tubes 18 extend in the direction of the furnace 1.
  • These steam guide tubes 18 conduct the steam air flow through the interior of the furnace 1 without touching the heating rods 7 for air heating.
  • a filling device 19 is attached to the upper end of the tube 18. This filling device 19 serves both for filling the evaporator trough 10 with liquid and for the steam outlet. At a distance from the ground, a sieve 20 is used to distribute the steam evenly, and 20 medicinal herbs can be placed on this sieve. The supply of the liquid from outside 22 but also from inside 23 can be controlled by means of a control valve 21.
  • the steam content in the sauna room can be precisely regulated and the amount of liquid required is considerably less than in the known sauna heaters.
  • one or more steam guide tubes 18 can be provided which guide the steam-air mixture from the evaporator trough 10 to the top of the furnace 1 and thus into the sauna room 33.
  • the screen 20 ensures a very fine distribution of the steam-air mixture, which reaches the sauna room 33 in an almost gaseous atomization. With herbs or essences deposited on the sieve 20, the medicinal effect of the sauna, in particular when inhaling, can be enhanced.
  • a fill level indicator 24 is provided for checking the liquid level in the evaporator trough 10.
  • a valve-controlled liquid drain 25 is installed in the evaporator pan 10. The supply of liquid from the storage containers 22 or 23 can depend on the fill level indicator 24 or a water column air chamber 28 are regulated automatically.
  • a switch 26 is connected between the electrical connections 8 of the heating rods for the air heating of the furnace 1 and the electrical connections 15 of the evaporator trough 10. This switch 26 is used to switch the oven from dry sauna operation to steam sauna operation.
  • a built-in supply air regulator 13 directly on the evaporator trough 10 can also have a positive influence on the oxygen content and the formation of steam.
  • the evaporator pan 10 is advantageously mounted on rails 34 and can be by means of a handle 30 are pulled out of the oven 1 standing on the floor 32 for cleaning.
  • the sauna heater according to the invention has the further advantage that it is not necessary to drain the water when switching from dry sauna operation to steam sauna operation. An unwanted evaporation of the water during dry sauna operation is no longer possible. The additions of herbs, essential oils or essences are no longer lost.
