A steam generator is an essential component of a steam sauna, which offers not only a pleasant experience but also various health benefits. This device is connected to the water supply system, and it vaporizes water using a special electric heater.
Why is the Steam Sauna So Popular?
The use of steam in saunas can lead to the following benefits:
1. Opening and cleansing of the pores, allowing subsequent cosmetic procedures to be more effective.
2. Removal of toxins, slags, and excess moisture from the body.
3. Relaxation of muscles, reducing nervous and physical tension.
4. Enhancement of mood.
Harvia offers steam generators that can bring all of these advantages to reality.
Harvia Steam Generators
The Finnish manufacturer introduces two new product lines, each serving a specific purpose.
HARVIA HELIX (HGX)
This line is suitable for both home and spa use. The devices are available in various models, differing in power and recommended sauna volume. The power of these devices ranges from 2.2 kW to 15 kW, while the sauna volume varies from 2 to 28 m³, depending on the model (there are six models in total).
The amount of steam generated ranges from 2 to 20.1 kg/h, increasing with the capacity of the unit.
HARVIA HELIX PRO (HGP)
This steam generator comes in two models (HGP22, HGP30) and is specifically designed for spa salons or similar establishments. It is engineered for long-term, continuous operation at high productivity, producing 29.2 to 40.2 kg of steam per hour.
Depending on the model, wall material, and ventilation characteristics, these devices can be installed in spaces ranging from 12 to 56 m³.
Installation Specifics for Steam Generators
During installation, several crucial conditions should be adhered to:
- The device must be connected to 230 V 1N~ or 400 V 3N~ networks.
- The steam generator should be installed indoors and in a dry environment. If it's placed in a small enclosure like a cabinet, proper ventilation is essential.
- Protect the device from freezing, exposure to aggressive substances, and temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius.
- Since the installation involves the water supply system, the steam generator must have access to the sewage system to drain waste liquid.
- While in operation, the generator should not be exposed to steam to prevent moisture buildup.
- The generator can be mounted on the wall or on the floor, following the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
General Advantages of Harvia's New Steam Generators
The devices of the described models offer several significant advantages:
- Water-based technology with a special septic tank to prevent clogging.
- A measured bowl for monitoring water levels at all stages of operation.
