Heating, sterilizing and drying appliance using superheated steam generator

Abstract

The present invention relates to a heating, sterilizing and drying appliance using a superheated steam generator, comprising: a saturated steam distributor 10 adapted to selectively distribute saturated steam which is produced by a boiler 11 and then is separated from condensed water while passing through a separator 12 in the process of opening a valve assembly 13; a su not perheated steam generator 20 adapted to allow streams of the steam supplied thereto from the saturated steam distributor to generate vortices while passing through a plurality of disc-like interval-maintaining means 23 stackingly arranged on top of one another longitudinally in a combustion chamber 21 thereof and adapted to heat the vortex-generating steam through a plurality of superheated steam heating means 22 penetratingly mounted vertically in the plurality of interval-maintaining means to thereby produce superheated steam; and a superheated steam supply line 30 adapted to inject the superheated steam which is produced by the superheated steam generator 20 and is discharged after passing through the combustion chamber 21 toward a heating place H through a superheated steam injection line 32.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heating, sterilizing and drying appliance using a superheated steam generator, which uses superheated steam generated by the superheated steam generator as a heat source, and more particularly, to such a heating, sterilizing and drying appliance, The appliance reduces the manufacturing cost by simplifying the structure of the superheated steam generator, minimizes the size of the steam molecules, and generates high-temperature steam that easily penetrates into the heated material and maximizes the heating effect. Background technique [0002] In general, a superheated steam generator refers to a device that heats saturated steam supplied from a boiler or the like to generate a large amount of superheated steam in a short time. The superheated steam generated by the superheated steam generator is used as a heat source of food cooking equipment, sterilizer equipment or dryer equipment because it is composed of relativel...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the conventional superheated steam generator is necessarily accompanied by the following disadvantages: because it has a number of complicated components, including screw-type heat transfer tubes embedded in it, to ensure the fluid passing cross-section required to generate and process superheated steam, so Increased manufacturing costs, resulting in increased maintenance and repair costs for production

[0005] Also, conventional superheated steam generators have encountered a problem in that it is difficult to obtain superheated steam with a uniform temperature because of large deviations in steam flow rate due to the complexity of built-in components

Also, if localized overheating is generated in the heat transfer tube itself due to the deviation of the fluid flow rate, it causes another problem in that built-in components deteriorate, thereby reducing their durability
