Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a steam generator, in particular for household electrical appliances such as washing-drying machines, dishwashers, etc.
  • steam is produced by the passage of current through a resistance element immersed in a container of water.
  • a sensor controls the feed of further water, which is heated to be converted into steam.
  • This steam generator has however the drawback of a time delay in steam production relative to the moment in which power is fed to the resistance element, as a large water quantity has to be heated each time.
  • water is fed onto a surface, heated to more than 100°C, by a pressure system controlled by the temperature of the heated surface.
  • This steam generator has other drawbacks, and in particular:
  • An object of the invention is to eliminate these drawbacks by providing a steam generator which supplies steam with a minimum delay relative to the moment in which the resistance element is powered, and which feeds the water necessary for steam production automatically without requiring the use of special equipment.
  • a steam generator in particularly for household electrical appliances such as washing-drying machines and dishwashers, as described in claim 1.
  • the steam generator comprises substantially a cylindrical water accumulation vessel 2 connected via a conduit 4, provided with a valve 6, to an evaporation chamber 8, on the bottom of which a plate resistance element 10 is positioned.
  • conduit 12 extends into the interior of the vessel 2 substantially as far as its upper surface.
  • the vessel 2 is also provided with a water inlet conduit 16 provided with a valve 18, and houses in its interior a tube 14 emerging from the vessel and having its lower end positioned at a higher level than the conduit 4.
  • the steam generator of the invention operates in the following manner.
  • the valve 6 is closed and the valve 18 opened to completely fill the vessel with water.
  • the air contained in the vessel 2 passes through the conduit 12 and into the evaporation chamber 8 which during this stage is filled only with air.
  • valve 18 When the vessel is completely full the valve 18 is closed and the valve 6 opened.
  • the water contained in the vessel 2 then passes through the conduit 4 and into the evaporation chamber 8 until it reaches a level substantially corresponding to the horizontal plane passing through the lower end of the tube 14, as the pressure in the chamber 2 equals the pressure at the bottom of the tube 14 by virtue of the principle of communicating vessels and as a result of the emptying of the tube 14.
  • the resistance element 10 is then activated to heat the water in the chamber 2, then as this water is converted into steam a further water quantity is drawn from the vessel 2 through the conduit 4 to again reach the previous level.
  • the steam generator of the invention has the advantage of generating steam very close to the moment in which the resistance element is powered because of the limited water quantity to be heated, and of automatically drawing in water as required, without the use of particular equipment.
