Title:
MIST GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/105492
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A mist generator where hot water (4) is supplied downward from hot water piping
(3) inside a sauna device body (2) mounted on a ceiling surface of a bath room (1)
and where air compressed by an air pump (5) is jetted from air nozzles (7a, 7b).
The hot water (4) is adjusted to a small flow rate as low as 0.03-0.1 liter per minute.
The ejection speed of air jets (9a, 9b) is adjusted to a speed higher than the speed
of drop flow of the hot water (4).When the air jets (9a, 9b) having the higher speed
collide with the hot water (4), the hot water (4) is broken into small pieces to
generate mist (10). The generated mist (10) is mixed into air circulated in the
bath room (1) by a fan motor (8) and uniformly diffused in the bath room (1). The
diffused mist (10) raises the temperature and humidity in the bath room (1) to
realize a high-temperature, high-humidity sauna space. Even if the supply
pressure of liquid that is to be turned into mist is low and the supply flow rate
of the liquid is low, the mist generator can efficiently generate mist.
