  • a hot steam flow is generated.
  • This moist hot steam flow this is supplied to a cooling gas.
  • This cooling gas is not saturated with moisture and is drawn or sucked from outside the treatment vessel. Typically, this is ambient air.
  • the supplied and with respect to the temperature of the hot steam flow cooler gas mixes with the superheated steam and cools it to a temperature intended for the treatment within the mixing and distribution space.

  • the baffle of the baffle is directed towards the mouth of the steam line and the cooling gas line. against this baffle element flow the vapor stream and the cooling gas flow, so that there is a particularly effective turbulence and mixing of the two streams at this.

  • the baffle element is supported by webs wall and / or bottom side.
  • the low energy vapor flows into the actual treatment room of the treatment vessel, in which a body part is inserted for its treatment or to which a body part is brought to bear. Since both the outlet-side mouth of the steam line and that of the cooling gas line are directed against the baffle element and open into the mixing and distribution space, the two streams mix without necessitating additional measures. Is exploited in this concept, the fact that at least one of the two streams - steam flow and / or cooling gas flow - actively promoted entering the mixing and distribution space.
  • the baffle element is curved concavely on its side facing the pipe mouths. This not only ensures a particularly intensive mixing of the two streams.

  • the heating curve of such a PTC heating element is dependent on its current temperature. Therefore, such a heating element can be kept longer in a temperature range in which a steam with a particularly high moisture content can be generated.
  • the temperature for such a steam is about 135 degrees Celsius. Due to the inertia of a PTC heating element, the supply of water to be evaporated can be controlled in dependence on the current temperature of the PTC heating element.
  • water to be evaporated is supplied to the evaporator in a pulsating manner.
  • the evaporator between a temperature of 130 degrees Celsius and 140 degrees Celsius can be maintained by appropriate water supply.

This serves to provide a particularly good heat transfer from the PTC heating element 23 to the block parts 24, 24.1.

  • the meandering flow channels can also be introduced into the lid (s) by other means, for example by molding the same. It is also possible to introduce the Strömungswegsamkeit in the lid and adjacent thereto metal components, so that when added to the metal component lid, the introduced channels complement each other. It is too possible to introduce the Strömungswegsamkeit only in the metal component, which is then closed as a channel of the lid.

  • the cross section of the fluid channels 25.1 is dimensioned slightly smaller than that of the flow channels 25.
  • a certain dynamic pressure is generated with the result that the generated steam flows out of the outlet 29 uniformly. This allows an operation of the evaporator 22 with a pulsed impingement of water while still the output side of the generated steam flows evenly or at least sufficiently uniformly.
  • the inertia resulting from the use of a PTC heating element is used in a skilful manner in spite of periodically pressurizing the evaporator 22 with evaporation liquid through the design of providing a certain output side dynamic pressure, for example through the smaller flow cross-sectional geometry of the flow channel 25.1 on the output side Let steam escape evenly.
  • the evaporation temperature is kept periodically low, so that fine, unevaporated drops of the heated liquid are produced or entrained, which keeps the escaping steam "particularly wet".
  • the pump for pumping the water to be evaporated does not have to be operated constantly.
  • FIG. 5 shows another vaporizer 1.2.
  • This is in principle constructed like the Vaporisator of the FIG. 1 , From this differs the vaporizer 1.2 in the arrangement of his perfume cartridge 16.2. This is located in the vaporiser 1.2 not within the mixing and distribution room 8.2, but within the refrigerant gas line 12.2.
  • the additive stored in the scent cartridge 16.2 or the additive mixture have a consistency so that the air flow conveyed by the blower 11.2 can absorb something of the substance or mixture of substances contained in the cartridge 16.2.
  • the introduction of a substance or substance mixture contained in such a cartridge 16.2 is thus coupled to the conveying activity of the blower 11.2.
