Definitions

  • the stone storing means is heated electrically by means of electrical resistances below the storing means, said resistances adapted to 'be connected to a source of electrical energy.
  • the air heated below the storing means streams up through the bottom of the heat storing means and thus heats the stones.
  • a fan is arranged in the heater for blowing air, heated by means of the heating elements, from below and also from the side into the storing means so that the stones in said storing means are heated a little more effectively. Without any fan it is possible to heat the stones to a temperature of about 200 C. When the hot air by means of a fan is forced in between the stones the temperature of the stones can be brought to about 300 C. The heating time in both cases is about 30 minutes.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to produce a considerably greater quantity of steam at the same consumption of electricity.
  • the main feature of the invention is to arrange a number of resistance elements in the storing means, which are adapted to be connected to a source of electric energy, said elements being completely enclosed in tubes, in such a way that the tubes are in direct contact with the bodies in the 'storing means. No fan is necessary.
  • the steam bath heater can be manufactured in the shape of a parallelepipedon and thereby the space requirements will be very small and the heater can easily be hung on a wall in the steam bath room. 7
  • the storing means there are arranged on either side of the storing means chambers in which there are arranged electrical resistances adapted to be connected to a source of electrical energy.
  • electrical resistances adapted to be connected to a source of electrical energy.
  • lattices with bars which are adapted to direct the air streams heated in the chambers obliquely into the steam bath chamber.
  • the storing container is provided with a swingable'flap adapted after swinging up automatically to return to a position covering the upper end of the container.
  • This flap which with advantage is shaped in such a way that the hot air stream from the entrance of air to the chambers.
  • the storing container is directed obliquely forwards upwards, prevents direct streams from hitting the ceiling in the steam bath room.
  • FIG. 1 shows a partially and longitudinally sectioned front elevation of a steam bath heater according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the same
  • FIG. 4 shows on an enlarged scale a cross section through the lattice above one of the heating chambers
  • FIG. 5 shows on a still larger scale a vertical cross section through the upper portion of the storing container of the heater
  • FIG. 7 shows a vertical longitudinal section on the line VII-VII in FIG. 6 through the left hand portion of the heater.
  • the heater is manufactured in the form of a cabinet 1 with brackets 2 for its arrangement on a wall 3.
  • a container 4 serving as a storing means for a number of stones 5.
  • a bowl 9 for gathering an excess of water.
  • the ends of the tubes 10 are arranged in a coupling box 11 in which the wires of the resistance elements can be connected to a source of electrical energy.
  • the cabinet 1 On either side of the container 4 there are in the cabinet 1 arranged chambers 13 into which there extend similar resistance elements completely enclosed in tubes 14. Also these tubes 14 have their ends in the coupling box 11.
  • the cover 7 is above the chambers 13 provided with a lattice 15.
  • the rods 16 of the lattice are inclined and they direct the air streams heated by the heating elements obliquely upwards into the heating room, i.e. away from the wall 3.
  • a steam bath heater for a steam bath room comprising a housing having an opening in its top wall, a container filled with heat receiving and retaining bodies for storing heat having an open upper end in said housing, means for heating said bodies and the air in and around said housing, said heating means comprising a plurality of resistance elements in said container adapted to be connected to a source of electric energy, tubes completely enclosing said elements projecting into said container and in direct contact with said bodies in said container, said container being positioned in spaced relation to the end walls of said housing so as to form an air heating chamber located at each side of said container in said housing, each of said chambers having an air inlet means at its lower end located at each side of said container in said housing, said heating means also comprising resistance elements locate-d in each chamber adapted to be connected to said source of electric energy, tubes enclosing said resistance elements in each chamber projecting into each chamber, a lattice arranged above each chamber in said housing forming an air outlet, rods in each lattice to direct the air streams heated in
