摘要: A separator circuit (26) for a steam generation system (10A, 10B). The separator circuit (26) comprises a steamer connection tube (44) and a liquid bin tube (48) that extends vertically between a steam outlet for providing steam to a cavity of a cooking appliance and a recirculation tube for routing condensation back into the provided steam generation system (10A, 10B). A slide tube (46) is sloped downwardly from the steamer connection tube (44) to the liquid bin tube (48) for gravitationally accelerating condensation from the steamer connection tube (44) through the liquid bin tube (48) and into the recirculation tube. A vortex section (56) is located between the slide tube (46) and the liquid bin tube (48) and includes a choke wall (62). The choke wall (62) extends from a first end (72) decreasing a cross-sectional flow path of the vortex section (56) to a second end (74) in a direction of the liquid bin tube (48).

摘要: A steam generation system (10) includes one or more liquid reservoirs (12) and a steam generator (14) converting liquid from the liquid reservoirs (12) into steam during a steam cycle. The liquid reservoirs (12) are connected to the steam generator (14) via a first liquid line (16) and via a second liquid line (22). First and second fluid level sensors are associated with a minimum level and with a maximum level of liquid in the steam generator (14), respectively. A fill pump (20) is located along the first liquid line (16) and controls liquid exiting the liquid reservoirs (12) and entering the steam generator (14). A drainage pump (24) is located along the second liquid line (22) and controls liquid exiting the steam generator (14) and entering the liquid reservoirs (12). The steam generator (14) is connected to steam output (28) via a steam line (26). The calibration method comprises the step of estimating a flow rate of a component of the steam generation system (10) which may be the steam generator (14) or the fill pump (20) or the drainage pump (24). The flow rate of the component of the steam generation system (10) may be estimated at the beginning of a steam cycle or during a steam cycle or after a steam cycle.

摘要: The invention relates to a method (200) of controlling a steam generation system (10) which includes one or more liquid reservoirs (12), a steam generator (14) and a steam output (28). During a present steam cycle, an injection time in which a steam generator (14) injects steam is determined. The injection time is multiplied by a predetermined steam flow rate of the steam generator (14). Based on the predetermined steam flow rate and on the injection time, a quantity of liquid remaining in the liquid reservoirs (12) is determined. Based on the predetermined steam flow rate and on the quantity of liquid remaining in the liquid reservoirs (12), a remaining time is determined.
