Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schneeraum für den Aufenthalt von Personen, insbesondere zur Verwendung bei Saunen oder in Saunaanlagen.The invention relates to a snow room for the stay of persons, in particular for use in saunas or in sauna facilities.

Für eine Abkühlung des Körpers nach dem Aufheizen in einer Sauna stehen in Saunaanlagen in der Regel u.a. Tauchbecken zur Verfügung.For a cooling of the body after heating in a sauna are in sauna facilities usually u.a. Plunge pool available.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Schnee- oder Abkühlraum aufzuzeigen, der bei Saunen oder in Saunaanlagen auch als Alternative zu einem Tauchbecken zur Abkühlung des Körpers verwendet werden kann.The object of the invention is to show a snow or cooling room, which can be used in saunas or sauna facilities as an alternative to a plunge pool to cool the body.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist ein Schneeraum entsprechend dem Patentanspruch 1 ausgebildet. Der Schneeraum kann entweder im Inneren eines Gebäudes aufgestellt werden oder aber auch als eigenständiges Gebäude im Freien.To solve this problem, a snow room is designed according to claim 1. The snow room can either be installed inside a building or as an independent building outdoors.

Die Erzeugung des Schnees erfolgt im Bereich der Decke der Einhausung durch die dort vorgesehene Schneivorrichtung, und zwar in dem das Gehäuse dieser Schneivorrichtung durchströmenden Schneiluftstrom, d.h. noch innerhalb des Gehäuses in einer Atmosphäre, deren Klima (Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit) unabhängig vom Klima innerhalb des Schneeraumes für die Schneebildung optimal eingestellt werden kann, d.h. mit geringer Luftfeuchtigkeit bei einer Temperatur deutlich unter dem Gefrierpunkt.The snow is generated in the area of the ceiling of the enclosure by means of the snow device provided there, in the snow air flow flowing through the housing of this snow device, i. still within the enclosure in an atmosphere whose climate (temperature and humidity) can be optimally adjusted for the snow formation regardless of the climate within the snow room, i. with low humidity at a temperature well below freezing.

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Figur, die in vereinfachter Darstellung einen beschneibaren Raum bzw. Schneeraum zeigt, näher erläutert.Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the figure, which shows in a simplified representation of a snowable space or snow room.

Der Schneeraum 1 besteht u.a. aus einer einen Innenraum 2 umschließenden Einhausung 3 mit einer Umfangswand 3.1, die bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform von mehreren polygonartig aneinander anschließenden Wandelementen 3.1 gebildet ist, mit einer geschlossenen Decke 3.2 und mit einem Boden 3.3. Die Wandelemente der Umfangswand 3.1 sind jeweils mit einer großflächigen Isolierverglasung 4 versehen. Über eine Personenschleuse 5 ist der Innenraum für Personen zugänglich. Der Schneeraum 1 ist Bestandteil einer Fitness- und/oder Wellenessanlage mit Sauna usw.. Zumindest die Umfangswand 3.1, die Deckenwand 3.2 sowie auch die Wände und Türen der Schleuse 5 sind thermisch isoliert und beispielsweise doppelwandig mit zwischenliegender thermischer Isolierung aus Edelstahl gefertigt.The snow room 1 consists, inter alia, of an enclosure 2 enclosing an interior 2 with a peripheral wall 3.1, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment of several polygonal adjoining wall elements 3.1, with a closed ceiling 3.2 and 3.3 with a bottom. The wall elements the peripheral wall 3.1 are each provided with a large insulating glazing 4. About a person lock 5, the interior is accessible to people. The snow room 1 is part of a fitness and / or Wellenessanlage with sauna, etc. At least the peripheral wall 3.1, the ceiling wall 3.2 and the walls and doors of the lock 5 are thermally insulated and, for example, double-walled with intermediate thermal insulation made of stainless steel.

Im Innenraum 2 ist ein Beschneiungssystem vorgesehen, welches bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform von zwei Beschneiungsvorrichtung 6 gebildet ist. Jede Beschneiungsvorrichtung 6 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem beidendig offenen, kreiszylinderförmigen und mit seiner Achse radial zur vertikalen Mittelachse M der Einhausung 3 orientierten Rohrstück oder Gehäuse 7. Die Enden der beiden um 180° um die vertikale Mittelachse M versetzten Gehäuse sind von dieser Mittelachse M sowie auch voneinander radial beabstandet.In the interior 2, a snowmaking system is provided, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment of two snowmaking device 6. Each snow-making device 6 consists essentially of a tubular-cylindrical or housing 7 oriented at both ends, oriented radially with respect to the vertical center axis M of the housing 3. The ends of the two housings offset by 180 ° about the vertical center axis M are of this central axis M as well also spaced radially from each other.

Die Rohrstücke 7 sind an ihren der Mittelachse M entfernt liegenden Enden 7.2 mit einem Luftkanal 8 verbunden, über den von einem außerhalb der Einhausung 3 vorgesehenen Klimagerät als Luftstrom trockene kalte Luft (Schneiluft) zugeführt wird.The pipe sections 7 are connected at their middle axis M remote ends 7.2 with an air duct 8, via which is provided by a provided outside of the enclosure 3 air conditioner as air stream dry cold air (snow).

Innerhalb jedes Gehäuses 7 ist wenigstens eine Düse 9 vorgesehen, der einerseits Druckluft, die eine geringe Feuchtigkeit sowie eine Temperatur deutlich unter 0° C aufweist, sowie andererseits auch Wasser unter hohem Druck zugeführt wird. In der jeweiligen Düse 9 wird das Wasser mit der trockenen und sehr kalten Druckluft zerstäubt, so dass sich ein stark abgekühlter Wassernebel im Gehäuseluftstrom und aus diesem mit dem Gehäuseluftstrom mitgeführten Wassernebel schließlich Schnee bildet, wobei die Schneebildung noch innerhalb des Gehäuses 7 einsetzt.Within each housing 7 at least one nozzle 9 is provided, on the one hand compressed air, which has a low humidity and a temperature well below 0 ° C, and on the other hand, water is supplied under high pressure. In the respective nozzle 9, the water is atomized with the dry and very cold compressed air, so that a strongly cooled water mist in the housing air flow and from this entrained with the housing air flow water mist finally forms snow, the snow formation still begins within the housing 7.

Durch die Anordnung der Beschneivorrichtungen 6 ergibt sich auch noch ein besonderer Effekt dahingehend, dass sich die aus den rohrförmigen Gehäusen 7 austretenden Luftströme zu einem verwirbelten Luftbereich LB im oberen Bereich des Innenraumes 2 führen, in dem (Luftbereich) die Schneebildung besonders intensiv weiter erfolgt.The arrangement of the Beschneivorrichtungen 6 also results in a special effect to the effect that the emerging from the tubular housings 7 air flows lead to a swirled air area LB in the upper region of the interior 2, in which (air), the snow formation is particularly intense.

Zur Aufbereitung und Bereitstellung des den Düsen 9 zugeführten Wassers mit einer Temperatur unter 1°C bzw. mit einer Temperatur von etwa 0°C (Eiswasser) dient eine Anlage, die in einem Maschinenraum 10 untergebracht ist und im einfachsten Fall aus einem Kessel besteht, in welchem das zugeführte Wasser soweit abgekühlt wird, dass es im Kessel teilweise gefroren und teilweise noch flüssig für die Weiterleitung an die Düsen 9 vorliegt, und zwar unter Druck mittels einer Pumpe. Die Schneiluft und die den Düsen 9 zugeführten Druckluft wird ebenfalls in dieser Anlage erzeugt, in der die beispielsweise aus dem Innenraum 2 und dabei bevorzugt aus dem Bodenbereich des Innenraumes abgesaugte Luft getrocknet, komprimiert und abgekühlt wird, so dass diese Luft dann dem Verteilerkanal 8 als Schneiluft und den Düsen 9 als Druckluft mit einer Temperatur deutlich unter 0° C zugeführt wird. Die Temperatur der Schneiluft sowie der den Düsen 9 zugeführten Druckluft ist kleiner als -18°C. Die verwendeten Düsen 9 sind so ausgebildet, dass die durch das Zerstäuben des Wassers entstehenden Wassertröpfchen eine Größe kleiner als 100 µ aufweisen.For the preparation and provision of the nozzles 9 supplied water at a temperature below 1 ° C or at a temperature of about 0 ° C (ice water) is a system which is housed in a machine room 10 and in the simplest case consists of a boiler, in which the supplied water is cooled so far that it is partially frozen in the boiler and partially still liquid for forwarding to the nozzles 9, under pressure by means of a pump. The snow air and the compressed air supplied to the nozzles 9 is also generated in this system, in which the extracted, for example, from the interior 2 and thereby preferably extracted from the bottom region of the interior air dried, compressed and cooled, so that this air then the distribution channel 8 as Cutting air and the nozzles 9 as compressed air at a temperature well below 0 ° C is supplied. The temperature of the cutting air and the compressed air supplied to the nozzles 9 is less than -18 ° C. The nozzles 9 used are designed such that the water droplets produced by the atomization of the water have a size smaller than 100 μ.

Der Vorteil der beschriebenen Konstruktion besteht u.a. darin, dass die Schneebildung weitestgehend unabhängig von dem Klima (Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit) des Innenraumes 2 erfolgt, d.h. es ist lediglich notwendig, dass der Innenraum 2 auf eine Temperatur abgekühlt ist, die beispielsweise im Bereich von 0°C oder etwas tiefer liegt, aber deutlich über der Temperatur der Schneiluft, wobei die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Innenraum 2 deutlich höher ist als die Luftfeuchtigkeit in der Schneiluft.The advantage of the construction described is u.a. in that the snow formation is largely independent of the climate (temperature and humidity) of the interior 2, i. it is only necessary that the interior 2 is cooled to a temperature, for example, in the range of 0 ° C or slightly lower, but well above the temperature of the snow, the humidity in the interior 2 is significantly higher than the humidity in the Schneiluft.

Die Erfindung wurde voranstehend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben. Es versteht sich, dass zahlreiche Änderungen sowie Abwandlungen möglich sind, ohne dass dadurch der der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Erfindungsgedanke verlassen wird.The invention has been described above by means of an embodiment. It is understood that numerous changes and modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive concept underlying the invention.
