Abstract

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist es möglich, einen Dampfgenerator (11) zu schaffen, der einen Wasservorrat (15) in einem Gehäuse ( 13) aufweist. Des weiteren sind ein Wasserzulauf (22) mit Ventil (23), ein Wasserablauf (25) eine Heizung (16) in dem Gehäuse und ein Dampfausgang (22) vorgesehen. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Wasserablauf (25) als selbsttätig aktiviert und arbeitender Saugheber (27) ausgebildet, der ab einem bestimmten Wasserstand des Wasservorrats (15) aktiviert wird. Dies erfolgt beispielsweise dadurch, dass eine obere Biegung (29) des Saughebers (27) in etwa auf Höhe des höchsten Wasserstandes im Gehäuse (13) liegt. Wird dieser Wasserstand erreicht, aktiviert sich der Saugheber (27) von selber und saugt das Gehäuse (13) leer.

In one embodiment of the invention, it is possible to provide a steam generator (11) having a water supply (15) in a housing (13). Furthermore, a water inlet (22) with valve (23), a water outlet (25), a heater (16) in the housing and a steam outlet (22) are provided. According to the invention, the water outlet (25) is activated as a self-activating and operating siphon (27), which is activated at a certain water level of the water supply (15). This occurs, for example, in that an upper bend (29) of the siphon (27) lies approximately at the level of the highest water level in the housing (13). If this water level is reached, the siphon (27) activates by itself and sucks the housing (13) empty.
