Electric steam generator
-
Description
Eliminate complicated setup and the open flame
typically associated with boilers and steam
generators. A large-capacity reservoir holds
900mL of water, enough to supply two work
stations with steam for an entire class period. A
built-in 800W heating element produces steam
from a full reservoir of cold water in under 10
minutes and is completely enclosed for electrical
safety. Additionally, a special thermal sensing
circuit automatically reduces power before the
water boils and shuts the unit off when the
reservoir is empty. The large, hard rubber reservoir
lid carries two steam ports and is dimensioned
to act as an overpressure release. It can be easily
removed when using the reservoir for specific
heat experiments. The one-piece metal design
of the reservoir and top of the Electric Steam
Generator make the unit both robust and easy to
clean. It features an illuminated power switch, a
continuously variable power control, and a lowwater
warning light. It is 20cm in diameter, 30cm
high, and has a 2m-long power cord. One specific
heat dipper is supplied with the unit.
