DEVICE FOR DRAWING WATER TO THE SAUNA HEATER

The invention relates to a device for conducting water to a sauna heater, which device comprises a water line routed above the heater.

5 In order to produce steam in saunas, water is usually thrown onto the stove with a bucket or similar device. During the sauna, you have to throw water on the heater often, because the water contained in one throw evaporates quickly. In some saunas, a water line 10 with a dosing device is led directly above the stove, whereby water is supplied from the water line to the stove at regular intervals. Also in this case, the amount of steam entering the sauna room varies considerably. When the amount of steam varies, a situation easily arises where the person taking the sauna sometimes feels far too hot and uncomfortable.

The object of the invention is to provide a device for supplying water to a sauna heater, which eliminates the disadvantages of the above-mentioned heaters. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide a device by means of which water is fed to the sauna heater evenly. It is a further object of the invention to provide a device which is simple in structure, inexpensive in cost and reliable in operation.

The object of the invention is achieved by a device which is mainly characterized by what is stated in the claims.

::: 30 The device according to the invention comprises a water dispenser with r e i 'i 11 placed above the stove, on the upper side of which the end of the water pipe is placed. When using the device, water is evenly passed from the water supply to the water spreader at all times. Water spreads on the water spreader 2 86249 and flows out of the holes in it evenly over the stove below. Thus, the water flows evenly over the stove throughout the sauna and a steady continuous steam is obtained.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a device according to the invention schematically and placed on a heater, Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a device according to the invention seen from above and Figure 3 shows another embodiment of a device according to the invention. view.

In the application shown in Figure 1, the device comprises a water tank 4, a water pipe 2 connected to it, a valve 5 placed in the water pipe and a water spreader 3. The water spreader 1 is attached to the sauna steam room, e.g. a wall, above the sauna 20 heater 1. The water pipe is led to the steam room of the sauna so that its end is above the water dispenser. Also, the valve 5 placed in the water line for regulating the water flow is preferably located in the steam space, but in some applications it can also be located outside the steam space. The water tank is placed either inside or outside the steam room as desired. However, the water tank must be placed above the water dispenser, so that the water can flow freely from the water tank along the water line onto the water dispenser. It is also possible to provide a standard water main connected to the water supply network; extend into the steam space above the water spreader. In this case, a separate water tank is not required.

The water distributor 3 is generally a substantially flat-bottomed plate with edges. The shape and size of the water dispensers may vary in different applications of the invention. The size and number of holes • «3 86249 can also vary as desired. The water spreader is preferably equal to or slightly smaller than the stove or the steam opening of the stove, whereby the water spreads evenly in each part of the stove and a uniform steam is obtained. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the water spreader has a rectangular shape, while in the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the water spreader is a flap-like, mainly elliptical device. In some applications, e.g. 10 loop-like structures can also be used as water dispensers.

In one embodiment of the invention, the water spreader is formed by a nozzle end with holes placed at the end of the water pipe. The nozzle head is arranged to rotate by means of water pressure 15, so that water is fed evenly to different sides of the stove. The water spreader can also be a device with vanes, which is rotated by steam rising from the stove.

The device according to the invention operates independently by means of the pressure of the water flowing from the water tank 20. Each device operates as its own: · .. separate unit, and no external water supply network and external pressure are required, as in previously known water dispensing systems. The device can be easily installed as it is, for example, in the beach sauna of a summer-25 cottage or a similar sauna. Naturally, it can be installed in all kinds of saunas.

The invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments shown but may vary within the scope of the claims.
