STEAM THAWING APPARATUS AND STEAM GENERATION CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a steam thawing apparatus and a steam generation control method thereof. The steam thawing apparatus includes: a steam generator to generate steam by heating water in a water supply pipe; a steam generator temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the steam generator; a pump to allow water to flow in the water supply pipe; and a control part to control the operation of the pump. The steam generation control method of the steam thawing apparatus includes: a step of making the temperature of the steam generator measured in the steam generator temperature sensor reach a predetermined temperature by heating the steam generator using the control part and driving the pump by applying power to the pump; and a step of stopping the driving of the pump by cutting off power supply to the pump after driving the pump with the application of power to the pump until the temperature of the steam generator becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature. According to the present invention, the steam thawing apparatus has an increased thawing speed by generating steam at high speed at startup and an extended service life as the driving of the components is terminated to prevent damage to the components at the termination of the driving.
