Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 und das Verfahren nach Anspruch 15 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den jeweils nachgeordneten Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by the device according to claim 1 and the method according to

Vorzugsweise ist als Halterung ein Edelstahlgitter vorgesehen, dass eine gute Dampfdurchlässigkeit gewährleistet.Conveniently, the salt source comprises a stainless steel stainless steel support for the salt having a vapor permeable structure. Preferably, a stainless steel grid is provided as a holder, which ensures a good vapor permeability.
Die Dampferzeugungseinrichtung weist dabei wenigstens eine, vorzugsweise mehrere Dampfaustrittsöffnungen auf, von denen jede von der Salzquelle einen Abstand von etwa 2 bis 10 cm aufweist, wobei alle Dampfaustrittsöffnungen vorteilhafterweise unterhalb der Salzquelle angeordnet sind, um jeweils einen im Wesentlichen vertikal nach oben gerichteten Dampfstrahl zu erzeugen.The steam generating device in this case has at least one, preferably a plurality of steam outlet openings, each of which has a distance of about 2 to 10 cm from the salt source, wherein all the steam outlet openings are advantageously arranged below the salt source to each produce a substantially vertically upward steam jet ,
Auf diese Weise lässt es sich erreichen, dass die salzabgebenden Oberflächen der Salzquelle, also die Oberflächen des wenigstens einen Salzsteins gleichmäßig von Dampf umspült wird, sodass die Salzaufnahme optimiert wird.In this way, it can be achieved that the salt-emitting surfaces of the salt source, ie the surfaces of the at least one salt stone is evenly bathed in steam, so that the salt intake is optimized.

Um bei einer Dampferzeugungseinrichtung, bei der die Dampfzuführleitung über einem Verdampfer angeordnet ist, zu verhindern, dass Kondens- oder Salzwasser in den Verdampfer zurücklaufen kann, ist bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Dampfzuführleitung in ihrer Betriebsstellung ein Gefälle in Strömungsrichtung des Dampfes und an ihrem tiefsten Punkt Auslassöffnungen für Kondens- bzw. Salzwasser aufweist.In order to prevent condensate or salt water from flowing back into the evaporator in a steam generating device in which the steam supply line is arranged above an evaporator, in a preferred development of the invention, the steam feed line in its operating position has a gradient in the flow direction of the steam and at its lowest point outlet openings for condensed or salt water.

Zur Einstellung des Salzgehalts in der Luft lässt sich somit die Salzquelle mit kürzeren oder längeren Dampfstößen beaufschlagen, deren Wiederholungsfrequenz ebenfalls variierbar ist.In order to be able to control the amount of salt flushed out of the salt source, and thus the salt content of the air, the steam generating device comprises a control circuit, so that the salt source can be acted upon with steam at an adjustable time interval. In order to adjust the salt content in the air, the salt source can thus be subjected to shorter or longer bursts of steam whose repetition frequency can also be varied.
Um ein Luftgemisch mit möglicht gleichmäßigen Salzgehalt zu erhalten, ist bei einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass mit der Steuerschaltung eine Sensoreinrichtung verbunden ist, die Klimaparameter erfasst, sodass die Dampfleistung in Abhängigkeit von den erfassten Klimaparametern geregelt werden kann.In order to obtain an air mixture with a uniform salt content, it is provided in an advantageous embodiment of the invention that a sensor device is connected to the control circuit, which detects climate parameters, so that the steam output can be regulated in dependence on the detected climate parameters.

Um eine einfache Reinigung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zu gewährleisten, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass unter der Salzquelle und der Dampfzuführleitung eine abnehmbare Auffangschale vorgesehen ist, die vorzugsweise aus nichtrostendem Edelstahl besteht.In order to ensure a simple cleaning of the device according to the invention, it is preferably provided that a removable collecting tray is provided below the salt source and the steam supply line, which preferably consists of stainless steel.
Erfindungsgemäß lässt sich ein salzhaltiges Luftgemisch, insbesondere in einer Saunakabine dadurch erzeugen, dass eine Salzquelle wiederholt mit wenigstens einem Dampfstrahl beaufschlagt wird, wobei die wiederholte Dampfbeaufschlagung der Salzquelle mit verstellbarem Zeittakt erfolgt.According to the invention, a salt-containing air mixture, in particular in a sauna cabin, can be produced by repeatedly applying at least one jet of steam to a salt source, wherein the repeated application of steam to the salt source takes place with an adjustable time interval.
Insbesondere wenn ein warmes Salzluftklima in einer Saunakabine gewünscht wird, ist es zweckmäßig, die Salzquelle in einem aufsteigendem Warmluftstrom anzuordnen, um den salzhaltigen Dampf mit der Umgebungsluft zu vermischen. Hierbei erfolgt also die Vermischung des salzhaltigen Dampfes bzw. des salzhaltigen Luftdampfgemisches mit der restlichen Umgebungsluft in dem Raum, also in der Saunakabine durch Konvektion.In particular, when a warm salt air climate is desired in a sauna room, it is convenient to arrange the salt source in an ascending stream of hot air to mix the saline vapor with the ambient air.

Figur 1 zeigt beispielsweise eine Saunakabine 10 in der ein herkömmlicher Saunaofen 11 in passender Größe mit entsprechender Steuerung für einen Temperaturbereich von 40°C bis 80°C oder 100°C angeordnet ist.FIG. 1 shows, for example, a sauna cabin 10 in which a
Eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung eines salzhaltigen Luftgemischs in der Saunakabine weist als Salzquelle einen Salzstein 12 auf, der von einer Halterung 13 getragen wird, die auf einer als sogenannte Dampflanze 14 ausgebildeten Dampfzuführleitung angebracht ist. Die Halterung 13, die als ganzes aus einem wärmebeständigen nichtrostenden Material, insbesondere aus nichtrostendem Edelstahl besteht, umfasst einen Rahmen 15, der über eine Stütze 16 auf der Dampflanze montiert ist. Der Rahmen 15 ist dabei jeweils entsprechend der Größe des Salzsteins 12 als offener Rahmen oder als Gitter oder Rost ausgebildet. Die Verwendung eines gitter- oder rostförmigen Rahmens 15 ermöglicht dabei je nach Gitter- oder Rostweite auch die Verwendung von einzelnen kleineren Salzsteinen als Salzquelle.A device according to the invention for producing a salt-containing air mixture in the sauna cabin has as salt source a
Die Dampflanze 14 der Dampferzeugungseinrichtung erstreckt sich durch eine entsprechende Öffnung in einer der Saunakabinenwände 17 hindurch und ist mit Hilfe einer rein schematisch als Stützstrebe 18 und Montageplatten 19 angedeutete Tragvorrichtung 20 an dieser gehalten und außerhalb der Saunakabine 10 mit einem Verdampfer 21 zur Erzeugung von geruchlosem und sterilem Dampf verbunden. Der Verdampfer 21 ist über entsprechende Leitungen 21' und 21" mit einem Wasserleitungssystem bzw. mit einem Stromnetz in üblicher Weise verbunden. Eine Steuerschaltung 22, die über eine Sensoreinrichtung 23 das Klima innerhalb der Saunakabine 10, also die Temperatur, die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit sowie gegebenenfalls den Salzgehalt der Luft erfasst, ist dem Verdampfer 21 zugeordnet, um den Zeittakt für die Dampfzufuhr zur Steuerung des warmen Salzluftklimas einzustellen, und eine automatische Nachheizung zur Kabinenaustrocknung zu gewährleisten.The
Die Dampflanze 14 weist zumindest eine, vorzugsweise mehrere Dampfaustrittsöffnungen 24 auf, die auf der Dampflanze 14 oben ausgebildet sind, sodass durch die Dampfaustrittsöffnungen 24 jeweils ein im Wesentlichen vertikal nach oben gerichteter Dampfstrahl austritt. Die mehreren, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel vier auf diese Weise erzeugten Dampfstrahlen ermöglichen es, dass der Salzstein 12 weitgehend gleichmäßige von Dampf umspült wird, sodass aus seiner Oberfläche mittels des Dampfes Salz ausgespült werden kann.The
Die Halterung 13 ist dabei so ausgebildet, dass der Abstand zwischen den Dampfaustrittsöffnungen 24 und der Unterseite des Salzsteins ca. 2 bis 10 cm, insbesondere etwa 3 cm beträgt. Im Hinblick auf die Anzahl und Größe der Dampfaustrittsöffnungen, sowie auf den verwendeten Austrittsdruck der Dampfstrahlen ist der Abstand zwischen Salzstein 12 und Dampfaustrittsöffnungen 24 jeweils so zu wählen, dass eine möglichst gleichmäßige Dampfbeaufschlagung des Salzsteins und damit eine möglichst gleichmäßige Umspülung erreicht werden kann.The
Um eine möglichst gleichmäßige Verteilung des aus dem Salzstein herausgelösten Salzes in der Saunakabine 10 zu erreichen, ist der Salzstein 12 über dem Saunaofen 11 in einem Abstand von ca. 20 bis 80 cm, insbesondere in einem Abstand von etwa 40 cm angeordnet. Der Abstand ist dabei so zu wählen, dass die Dampflanze 14 mit dem darauf befindlichen Salzstein 12 durch Wärmestrahlung nicht zu stark erwärmt wird, während sie gleichzeitig von dem vom Saunaofen 11 aufsteigendem Warmluftstrom umspült wird, sodass das am Salzstein 12 erzeugte salzhaltige Luftdampfgemisch von diesem Warmluftstrom gleichmäßig erfasst und in der gesamten Saunakabine verteilt wird.In order to achieve the most uniform possible distribution of dissolved out of the salt salt in the sauna room 10, the
Der Saunaofen 11 und der Verdampfer 21 der Dampferzeugungseinrichtung sind je nach Größe der Saunakabine 10 mit geeigneter Leistung zu wählen. Für eine Saunakabine mit einer Grundfläche von 2 x 2 m2 und einer Höhe von 2,1 m ist beispielsweise ein Verdampfer mit einer Dampfleistung von etwa 4,8 kg/h zweckmäßig, der einen elektrischen Anschlusswert von 3,6 kW besitzt.The
Mit der beschriebenen Vorrichtung lässt sich in beliebigen einem Raum, insbesondere jedoch in einer Saunakabine ein salzhaltiges Luftgemisch und damit ein Salzluftklima, insbesondere ein warmes Salzluftklima erzeugen, das vergleichbar mit Meeresluft ist. Hierzu wird der als Salzquelle dienende Salzstein 12 mit wenigstens einem Dampfstrahl, vorzugsweise jedoch mit mehreren, beispielsweise mit vier Dampfstrahlen so beaufschlagt, dass aus der Oberfläche des Salzsteins gleichmäßig Salz herausgelöst wird.With the described device can be in any room, but especially in a sauna cabin a saline air mixture and thus a salt air climate, in particular to produce a warm salt air climate, which is comparable to sea air. For this purpose, serving as a salt
Um den Salzgehalt der Luft einzustellen, wird eine Zeittaktsteuerung für die Dampfstrahlen durchgeführt, die Dampfstrahlen werden also jeweils für eine vorbestimmte Zeitdauer mit einer entsprechenden Wiederholungsfrequenz ein- und ausgeschaltet. Mithilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung lässt sich nicht nur der Salzgehalt in der Saunakabine sondern auch die Luftfeuchtigkeit steuern. Die Temperatur in der Kabine wird in üblicher Weise durch die Saunasteuerung mittels des Saunaofens 11 geregelt und richtet sich nach der Verträglichkeit der einzelnen Personen. Beispielsweise kann bei einer Raumtemperatur von 50°C eine relative Luftfeuchtigkeit von etwa 50% eingestellt werden.In order to adjust the salinity of the air, a timing control is performed for the steam jets, so the steam jets are turned on and off each time for a predetermined period of time at a corresponding repetition frequency. With the aid of the device according to the invention, not only the salt content in the sauna room but also the humidity can be controlled. The temperature in the cabin is regulated in the usual way by the sauna control by means of the
Bei einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung eines salzhaltigen Luftgemischs einen Verdampfer 21 auf, der auf den Boden einer Saunakabine oder dergleichen beispielsweise neben dem Saunaofen aufgestellt werden kann. Der Verdampfer kann dabei ein herkömmlicher, handelsüblicher Verdampfer sein.In another embodiment of the invention, the device for generating a salt-containing air mixture to an
Auf die obere Dampfaustrittsöffnung des Verdampfers 21 ist eine Abdeckkappe 26 im Wesentlichen dampfdicht aufgesetzt, die eine Dampfauslassöffnung 27 aufweist, die in einen als Dampfzuführleitung dienenden Dampfkanal 14' mündet. Der Dampfkanal 14', der beispielsweise ebenso wie die Abdeckkappe 26 aus nichtrostendem Edelstahl besteht, ist mit dieser im Bereich des Randes der Öffnung 27 beispielsweise durch Schweißen verbunden. Es kann jedoch auch jedes andere beliebige Befestigungsmittel vorgesehen sein, dass nicht korrosionsanfällig ist.On the upper steam outlet opening of the
Der Dampfkanal weist einen ersten in seiner normalen Betriebsstellung senkrechten Abschnitt 14'.1 auf, an den sich ein schräg nach unten geneigter Kanalabschnitt 14'.2 anschließt. Der schräg nach unten geneigte Kanalabschnitt 14'.2 weist auf seiner Oberseite, wie in Figur 4 zu erkennen ist, eine Vielzahl von Dampfaustrittsöffnungen 24 auf.The steam channel has a
Über dem schräg nach unten geneigten Dampfkanalabschnitt 14'.2, also über den Dampfaustrittsöffnungen 24 ist als Halterung für die Salzquelle ein Edelstahlgitter 13' angeordnet, das mittels Stützen 16 auf dem Dampfkanal 14' gehalten ist. Das Edelstahlgitter 13' ist dabei so ausgebildet, dass es eine gute Dampfdurchlässigkeit gewährleistet und gleichzeitig in der Lage ist, auch kleinere Salzsteine der Salzquelle abzustützen. Zu diesem Zweck sind die Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Gitterstäben oder Gitterdrähten verhältnismäßig klein gewählt, während das Verhältnis von offenen Bereichen zu abgedeckten Bereichen des Gitters sehr groß gewählt ist. Dies lässt sich beispielsweise dadurch erreichen, dass die einzelnen Gitterstäbe oder Gitterdrähte bezüglich der Abstände zwischen ihnen einen kleinen Durchmesser aufweisen. Um trotzdem eine genügende Stabilität des Edelstahlgitters zu gewährleisten, die es ermöglicht, dass auch schwere Salzsteine aufgelegt werden können, ist es denkbar, ein Edelstahlgitter mit unterschiedlich dicken Gitterstäben oder -drähten einzusetzen.Above the sloping downwardly inclined
Um zu verhindern, dass Kondens- oder Salzwasser, das sich im Dampfkanal 14' bildet, in den Verdampfer 21 zurückläuft, ist der die Dampfaustrittsöffnungen 24 tragende Kanalabschnitt 14'.2 nicht nur in Dampfströmungsrichtung schräg nach unten geneigt, sondern weist auch an seinem unteren Ende Bohrungen 28 auf, durch die Kondenswasser abfließen kann.In order to prevent condensation or salt water forming in the steam duct 14 'from flowing back into the
Unter dem schräg nach unten geneigten Dampfkanalabschnitt 14'.2 ist auf der Abdeckkappe 26 eine Auffangschale 29 abnehmbar angeordnet, die einerseits Kondens- und Salzwasser aus dem Dampfkanal 14' und andererseits von der Salzquelle abtropfendes Wasser auffängt.Under the obliquely downwardly inclined
