Patent number: 9598813Abstract: A garment steaming device includes a steam generator (20) having a heater (22) and an ironing surface (32) against which a fabric of a garment is locatable. An intermediate section (50) is disposed between the steam generator and the ironing surface to transfer heat from the steam generator to the ironing surface so that the ironing surface is indirectly heated by the steam generator via the intermediate section. The operating temperature of the ironing surface is not user selectable during use. Furthermore, the intermediate section is configured to have a thermal transmittance so that, during use, heat transfer from the steam generator to the ironing surface is controlled and the temperature of the ironing surface is maintained between 90° C. and 155° C. when the ironing surface is located against a fabric in each of a stationary condition and a moving condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Valiyambath Krishnan Mohankuma, Yongyuan Shan, Yong Jiang, Chee Keong Ong, Maarten Theodoor Henric Pelgrim, Boon Khian Ching, Gary Chi Yang Lim, Asok Kumar Kasevan

Patent number: 8726544Abstract: A boiler having a shell enclosing a space and an inlet for letting water into the shell space. The shell space has two separate sections, wherein a first section is located such as to receive a supply of fresh water to the boiler and wherein a second section is located such as to receive water from the first section when overflow of the first section takes place under the influence of a continuous supply of fresh water. A steam generating process takes place in the second section. Due to the fact that the second section is only indirectly filled with water, it is possible to have an undisturbed process. In particular, the water may be heated in the first section before reaching the second section. The first section may for example include an inner space of a container which is arranged inside the shell, for example.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2008Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Mohankumar Valiyambath Krishnan, Hock Soon Tiew, Boon Khian Ching, Tamilselvan Thirumazhisai Sankaralingam, Yen Leng Pang, Mo Tan Ng, Ajit Pal Singh, Asok Kumar Kasevan

Patent number: 8615909Abstract: A steam discharge unit (1) comprises a chamber (10) for accommodating a flow of a water-steam mixture and heating the water-steam mixture, an inlet (11) to the chamber (10), and an outlet (12) from the chamber (10). In order to avoid water droplets from exiting the chamber (10) through the outlet (12) along with a flow of steam, special measures are taken, which comprise a barrier (20) arranged inside the chamber (10), in a flow path of a water-steam mixture from the inlet (11) to the outlet (12), and a hydrophobic surface (30) arranged preferably close to the outlet (12). In case water droplets remain inside the chamber (10) and tend to move towards the outlet (12), an actual release of the water droplets from the chamber (10) cannot take place by virtue of the presence of the barrier (20) and the hydrophobic surface (30) as mentioned.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2010Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Yen Leng Pang, Ajit Pal Singh, Boon Tek Tn, Roel Alexander Rethmeier, Asok Kumar Kasevan
