METHOD FOR REGULATION OF STEAM INSTALLATION IN HOME APPLIANCE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC D06F33/00 D06F39/00 F22B1/28 F22B35/18 H05B1/02 

FIELD: engineering.

SUBSTANCE: the invention relates to method of regulation of steam installation in home appliances, where the steam installation produces water steam, in particular, hot steam of overheated steam. Water steam is fed to the processing section, specifically, to the drum. The said steam installation comprises at least one steam generator with heating element and water feeding means. The steam generator temperature is measured, specifically, the surface temperature and/or the heating element temperature, and in normal operating mode the heating element of water feeding means are regulated in such a manner so the measure temperature is kept within the given lower and upper limits. The normal operation mode comprises the first stage and the second stage, furthermore, in the first stage which begins after reaching the given lower temperature limit until reaching the given upper temperature limit the heating element is active and the water feeding means feed the water with the given volume flow, which is the fixed second volume flow or the volume flow which is changed accoring to the measured temperature in the given second dependence. In the second phase of normal operating mode which which begins after reaching the given upper temperature limit until reaching the given lower temperature limit the heating element is deactivated or its heat reduced in comparison with the first phase, and the water feeding means feed the water with the given third volume flow or the volume flow which is changed in accordance with the measured temperature in the third dependence. The second phase duration is measured, compared with the given duration value, and if the measured value differs from the given value more than the given difference value, the troubleshooting service begins.

EFFECT: guaranteed constant steam temperature and/or steam constant volume flow, which prevents spotting and textile products damage.
