Description

The utility model is intended for heating a room using electricity and for generating low-pressure steam. The utility model must be installed in the body of an electric furnace or furnace using another type of fuel. In particular, it can be used to warm up a room and obtain saturated and superheated steam in baths, saunas for individual and collective use, in climatic chambers of a sports and health and medical profile.

Known useful model Electric sauna stove Vakhov V.I. containing a housing with a fence, an electric heating element, a heat storage material and a means for generating steam (patent No. 179399 dated May 14, 2018).

The disadvantages of this furnace include a small usable area of heated elements in contact with steam. Steam passing through the heating element receives a slight overheating. Low vaporization rate and small amount of generated steam per unit of time.

There is a known Feringer steam generator for sauna stoves containing a vertically oriented body formed by an outer and inner shells installed with a radial clearance in relation to each other with the formation of an annular gap between them and interconnected at the ends (patent No. 2603448 dated November 27, 2016).

The disadvantages of this device include the possibility of using only in solid fuel furnaces, it is also necessary to maintain a stable temperature during the combustion process. In this case, in the absence of heating of the furnace, the temperature of the device decreases and, as a consequence, the efficiency decreases.

The prototype is the design of the furnace for the bath and the heat exchanger for it, given in the description for patent No. 153207 dated July 10, 2015, this utility model relates to the design of furnaces and the method of generating superheated steam and can be used to equip stationary and mobile baths. The technical problem to be solved by the resulting utility model is to obtain a sauna stove that provides high quality steam.

The technical problem posed is solved by using a furnace consisting of a housing with a firebox, a chimney and a heat exchange material, where the heat exchange material (heat exchanger) is a monolith made of cast iron or steel, mounted on the furnace body, inside which there is a vapor generating cavity.

The technical problem posed is also solved by means of a heat exchanger for a bath stove, which is a monolith made of cast iron or steel, on the surface of which a receiver for evaporated water and a steam discharge zone are equipped, inside which a vapor-generating cavity connecting them is made.

The disadvantages of this design are the large weight and volume of the occupied area of this equipment, as a consequence of the impossibility of using it in small rooms.

The task of the utility model is to eliminate the indicated drawbacks and improve the design of any furnace in order to ensure the quality of the generated steam.

The technical result of the utility model is that the proposed device allows you to create various types of vapor mixture up to 500 ° C in the required volume. This is achieved by the presence of a system of heaters connected in a single circuit, which includes the system of heaters itself, a system for heating and maintaining the temperature of heaters, a temperature control system and a water supply system, which makes it possible to create any microclimate of a steam room in terms of temperature, humidity and type of steam.

The technical problem posed is solved by using a body consisting of metal, heat exchange material with an electric heating system and heating control, where the heat exchange material is granular cast iron or steel, mounted in the furnace body between the heating systems.

Unlike the prototype, this utility model has a smaller size and weight, as well as a fundamental difference in the vapor-generating cavity, which consists in the use of a system of heaters interconnected with a large internal useful contact area with small volumes of the heater itself and the presence of a cooling system on the outer surface. The system of air heaters is a system of series-connected cavities made of steel or other metal with a melting temperature above 500 ° C, at the inlet of which a receiver for evaporated water and a steam discharge zone are equipped. The form of the claimed utility model makes it possible to increase the volume of the supplied liquid into the vaporizing cavity, which in turn increases the duration of vaporization and improves the quality of the vapor. In addition, this shape allows for a more compact arrangement of the device in space. The use of food-grade stainless metal in the body increases the service life of the device and excludes the possibility of burning out the body of the product, and also increases the corrosion resistance.

FIG. 1, 2 and 3 shows a diagram of the proposed device, and FIG. 4 shows a cross-section of a furnace with a steam generator, where it is indicated:

1 - furnace body;

2 - water tank;

3 - air heater branch pipe;

4 - air heater;

5 - water passage area;

6 - inner walls of the heater with a raised edge;

7 - heat-resistant granular material

8 - heating element;

9 - expansion tank

10 - steam line

11 - branch pipe for discharge of non-evaporated water;

12 - housing of the system of heaters with a heating system

The steam generator for a bath room is made in the form of a rectangular case made of heat-resistant metal with a melting point above 500 ° C.

FIG. 1 shows an assembled heater system. All units of the proposed device are also made of heat-resistant metal with a melting point above 500 ° C. Through the branch pipe 3, water is discharged into the system of heaters 4, where overheating and conversion of water into steam occurs up to the set temperatures. Further, through the closed loop of the heaters, the steam enters the expansion tank 9 and in the presence of liquid water it is heated up to the steam mixture and exits through the steam line 10 or the unevaporated water is discharged through the pipes 11 into the atmosphere.

FIG. 2 shows the heater 4 in a longitudinal section, which is a series-connected closed hollow circuit, into which water enters in a liquid state and when passing through zone 5, water begins to transform into steam, the inner walls of the heater with a raised edge 6 serve to reduce the speed of water passage along the inner contours of the heater.

FIG. 3 shows a steam generator in an assembly case made of heat-resistant metal with a melting temperature above 500 ° C, in which there are heaters, an expansion tank and a heating system for the heaters. The body 12 is made in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, in the upper part of which there is a steam line 10 through which saturated steam is discharged into the atmosphere and a branch pipe 3 intended for discharging water into the heater.

FIG. 4 shows a cross-section of a furnace with a steam generator. The body of the device 1 serves to accommodate the water tank 2 and the entire system of heaters. Tank 2 serves as a reservoir for water and also serves as a cooling circuit for the body of the proposed device. Also presented are a system of heaters 4 heated by a heat-resistant granular material 7 using a heating element 8 to a temperature of 150-500 ° C. The outlet of the heater is connected to the expansion tank 9, where the non-evaporated water is heated up and, if it does not evaporate, it is discharged.

In the steam distribution system, it is possible to install a steam aromatization system. Steam from the distribution system, represented by steam solenoid valves, is distributed to the necessary sources for the user, such as a steam steamer for herbs, a steam shower.

The superheated steam generator can be installed in a furnace using solid fuels and natural gas.
