Abstract

A steam generator is proposed to spray steam in a beauty shop, a barbershop or the like. In the steam generator, a small amount of water is continuously supplied to a heated vapor assembly and is instantaneously converted to steam. A preparation time can be greatly shortened after the vapor assembly is heated. Thereafter, steam can be stably and continuously supplied. Discharge electrodes are arranged in a steam tube extending from the vapor assembly to effectively ionize the steam.
