Abstract

Zur Erzeugung von aromatisiertem Dampf werden Aromen in eine Aromaaufnahme gefüllt, die dann bei Vorbeistreichen des Dampfes Aroma an diesen abgeben. Um ein Nachfüllen von Aromastoffen bei vollem Betrieb des Dampfgenerators zu ermöglichen, muss sichergestellt sein, dass beim nachfüllen kein heißer Dampf austreten kann, was eine Gefahr für die nachfüllende Person darstellen würde. Dazu ist erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, eine Aromaaufnahme 13 als Schieberventil auszuführen, wobei an der Aromaaufnahme 13 zwei getrennte Strömungsbereiche 41, 42 durch die Anordnung von Dichtelementen 33, 34, 36, 37 ausgebildet werden, die jeweils den Dampferzeuger 10 mit einem Dampfanschluss 35 verbinden.

Figure imgaf001
To produce flavored steam, flavors are filled into an aroma pickup, which then deliver flavor to them as the steam passes. To allow topping up of flavors with the steam generator fully operational, it must be ensured that no hot steam can escape during refilling, which would be a danger to the refilling person. For this purpose, the invention proposes to carry out a flavor receptacle 13 as a slide valve, wherein two separate flow areas 41, 42 are formed by the arrangement of sealing elements 33, 34, 36, 37 on the aroma receptacle 13, each connecting the steam generator 10 with a steam connection 35.
