<p>A steam iron (10) for clothing has direct measurement of sole plate temperature by a suitable sensor (19). A control device (20) such as a programmable logic controller, holds a characteristic relating sole plate temperature to steam production, and controls opening of an electrically actuated release valve (16) for water from a tank (15) to the sole plate (13). The sensor (19) may also control electrical energy for heating the sole plate (13).</p> |
