Abstract: An intelligent-cleaning steam oven liner includes a liner body, a door, a heating system, and a spray system. The heating system is used for cooking food in the liner body, and after the food in the liner body is cooked, the spray system cleans an inner wall surface of the liner body. The door is in seal fit with the liner body, and the heating system and the spray system are arranged in the liner body. The heating system realizes the food steaming and roasting function of a steam oven, and after the food is cooked by the heating system, the spray system operates to clean the inner wall of the liner body to keep the liner body clean.

Abstract: A steam cooker includes one or more cooking chamber having an access door. A steam generator unit is provided for heating water to generate steam. The steam generator unit may be connected for selective delivery of steam to one or more multiple cooking chambers. In some embodiments, a steam superheater is provided with a superheating chamber and a delime operation is used to delime the superheater chamber. In some embodiments, the steam generator includes an air flow passageway with a valve that controls passage of air through the air flow passageway into and out of the steam generator during steam generator drain and/or fill operations.

Abstract: An oven comprising a cooking chamber, a first tube having an inlet end associated with a heat source and defining an outlet opening disposed within the cooking chamber for delivering heat from the heat source through the outlet opening of the first tube to a first area of the cooking chamber, and a second tube having an end associated with the heat source and defining an outlet opening disposed within the cooking chamber for delivering heat from the heat source through the outlet opening of the second tube to a second area of the cooking chamber, the outlet opening of the second tube disposed above the outlet opening of the first tube. The oven may include additional tubes extending above the first and second tubes to deliver heat to other heights. The tubes may be aligned in a side-by-side manner and may be part of a tube assembly. The oven may further include oven racks disposed in the cooking chamber in a layered fashion corresponding to outlet openings of the tubes.

Abstract: A method for steam cooking includes introducing steam, from a steam generator device, into a food cooking container through a supply conduit so that at an inlet opening to the food cooking container the steam enters tangentially to a wall of the food cooking container. The generation of steam is controlled by a control system so as to provide a difference between the pressure in the supply conduit and the pressure in the interior of the food cooking container of at least 1 kPa.

Abstract: The invention aims at reducing the beating noise generated from motors of equipments placed in a galley unit of an aircraft. A galley unit 1 of an aircraft includes a cabinet 10 formed of honeycomb panels and the like. The cabinet 10 has a counter 50 for cooking, and a compartment 20 formed under the counter 50 for storing service carts 30. A plurality of ovens 100 for heating warm dishes are provided above the counter 50. Each oven 100 has a fan motor for making the inner heat even. If all the fan motors of the ovens are driven at the same rotation frequency, a beating noise will be generated from the motor and amplified through the compartment 20. Therefore, the rotation frequencies of the fan motors are slightly varied.
