Description

[0001] The invention is an energy-saving sauna heater.

[0002] Conventional sauna heaters are powered by electricity and generate high operating costs due to the high price of electricity.

[0003] The invention uses a converted air-based auxiliary heater, originally designed for use in mobile homes or trucks, to heat the sauna air with heating oil. Due to the low oil price and low consumption, operation is considerably more cost-effective than with a conventional sauna heater.

[0004] The sauna air is drawn into the auxiliary heater through an opening in the sauna wall, to which an intake pipe is connected. It is warmed there, and then returned to the sauna room through another pipe from the heater and a second opening. This creates an air cycle. The already heated air from the sauna requires less and less heating.

[0005] To increase energy efficiency, the pipes are insulated with aluminum foil.

[0006] The heater can be turned on and off, and the heating level can be adjusted, using a remote control. This allows the heater to be turned on well in advance of your sauna session without having to go down to the basement or outside. Furthermore, you don't have to leave the sauna to increase or decrease the air temperature.

Claims

[1] Sauna heating characterized by that the sauna air is led through an opening in the sauna wall, to which an intake pipe is connected, into a heating system operated with heating oil, warmed up there and led back into the sauna room through another pipe from the heating system via a second opening. [2] Sauna heating according to claim 1. characterized by that the auxiliary heating can be switched on and off and the heating level can be adjusted using a radio remote control.
