CONDENSATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present disclosure provides a system and method of condensation of a steam flow produced in a cooking device. The condensation system and method provides a vent pipe configured to be non-linear for providing a path for the steam flow. The condensation system and method also provides a spray nozzle which is positioned to spray water in substantially in alignment with the path of the steam flow. The system and method of increases condensation of the steam flow within the vent pipe, and the condensed steam is drained from the cooking device, producing a minimal amount of steam that is vented outside of the cooking device. The system and method of the present disclosure provide higher efficiency of condensation of steam and an overall smaller amount of atmospheric venting of steam.

主权项

1. A cooking device having a cooking chamber, a vent pipe for allowing a steam flow from the cooking device to exit the cooking device, and a spray nozzle for condensation of the steam flow comprising:
the vent pipe having a non-linear configuration; and the spray nozzle located outside of the cooking chamber, wherein the spray nozzle is disposed to spray water into the steam flow substantially in alignment with the steam flow to condense the steam flow and wherein the non-linear configuration of the vent pipe prevents water sprayed from the spray nozzle to escape the cooking device.
