Definitions

  • the object of this invention is a device for humidifying the air in a sauna and for evening the spread of steam.
  • the sauna air has been humidified by means of open vessels of water, water tanks connected to the sauna stove, nozzles and 'spirits of the sauna'. These have the common characteristic that they must be separately filled and/or adjusted.
  • This invention is intended to obviate the above drawbacks and create a device that is easier to use than those described above and which has the effect of considerably evening the spread of steam.
  • the device humidifies the air when water is thrown onto it, part of the water evaporating in the filter due to the effect of the throwing and the rest filtering onto the stove stones to create a more even discharge of steam. Evaporation can be adjusted by means of the size of granules in the filter material, by its density and by the thickness of the filter layer, as well as by the size and density of the holes in the base sieve.
  • the invention also lengthens the life of electrical elements, because the water flows more evenly onto the stove stones.
  • Figure 1 shows one device according to the invention in partial cross-section
  • Figure 2 shows a device according to the invention installed on top of a sauna stove.
  • the frame of the filter comprises a box-like trough 1 , made from e.g. thin stainless steel sheet.
  • the sides have 40 mm-high edges bent upwards and welded together at the corners 5. Holes of 2 mm diameter are drilled in a 10 mm grid in the base sieve 2.
  • the material used as a filter is 5 mm screened broken stone, which is spread as a 20 mm-thick layer on top of the base sieve 2.
  • the external dimensions of the base of the filter are the same as the size of the opening of the sauna stove's stone box, so that the device essentially covers the sauna stones.
  • Figure 2 shows one way of installing the device on a stove. It is placed horizontally 0 - 20 mm above the sauna stones, with the aid of the adjustment legs 6.
  • the adjustment legs 6 are 6 mm threaded bars attached to nuts 7, which are welded to the corners of the device.
  • the height of the filter can be altered according to the filter material used, while the size of the base can be less than the size of the opening of the stove's stone box, with the result that part of the water thrown onto the stove will go directly onto the stove stones and the other part through the filter.
  • the filter can be of stone, ceramic materials, steel wool, cellular steel material or other similar material, by means of which the flow of water onto the stove stones can be regulated.
  • the base sieve and the mesh over the filter material can be a perforated plate, steel mesh, a steel plate, in which a certain number of differently sized holes has been drilled to create a desired through-flow of water, or some other similar material, by means of which the flow of water can be adjusted.
  • the device can be installed directly on top of the stove stoves, on legs on top of the stove stones or the stove, on legs set on the floor, or directly attached to the stove. It may also be set on a linkage attached to the floor, wall or stove, whence it may to turned to the side, if required.
  • the filter can also be installed in a framework made in connection with the stove according to the size of the filter, or otherwise correspondingly set on top of or above the stove stones.
  • the filter may also be a low, box-like filter cartridge, which can be installed separately or on top of a steel framework, or otherwise correspondingly on top of or above the stove stones.
  • the filter mesh can lie freely on top of the filter material or it may be permanently fitted to the filter frame.
  • the device may also be without a filter mesh, if the particular filter material does not move when water is thrown onto it. The device is installed directly on top of the stove stones, or is supported above them, but in such a way that the necessary air circulation is ensured for the stove elements.
