SmartSteam - The "cruise control" of steam baths

August 12, 2010

If you want the most enjoyable steam bath experience, consistent and reliable temperature is key. Patented worldwide, SmartSteam™ technology is the ultimate in temperature control and is only available from ThermaSol. Standard on Pro Series generators, SmartSteam produces the precise amount of steam required to keep the room at one’s optimum temperature, using only a fraction of the energy. With SmartSteam, there are no temperature fluctuations, just constant steam at a constant rate.

Other generators on the market struggle to maintain their set temperature. These generators only activate when the room temperature drops — they continually turn on and off, desperately trying to maintain temperature, and burning plenty of energy in the process. Additionally, this old technology creates an overshoot (too hot) or an undershoot (too cold) in room temperature; it’s an uncomfortable, back-and-forth game of “all or nothing.” Imagine aggressively pushing your car’s gas pedal (this is how competitor’s turns steam ON). Next, imagine hurriedly throwing your foot on the brake pedal (this how competitor’s steam turns OFF). Now, imagine driving your car with your foot off the accelerator, relying on cruise control to determine and maintain the perfect speed (this is SmartSteam technology).

SmartSteam uses a liquid cooled relay as the heater modulating device. The system remembers the response time required to get the room to a desired temperature. Rather than completely shutting off or not taxing the generator by constantly ramping up and down, SmartSteam silently pulses the heater, prompting it to maintain room temperature at a reduced power level. SmartSteam technology allows you to “drive smoothly – like cruise control.” Go ahead: take your foot of the gas, sit back and enjoy the steam.
