The selection of the appropriate piping for the installation of a steam room is of crucial importance to ensure efficient and safe functioning of the steam generation. Not only the material of the pipes plays an important role, but also their diameter.
Copper pipes are considered the ideal choice for such installations. They are durable and corrosion-resistant, which gives them a high resistance to the high humidity in steam rooms. They also have excellent thermal conductivity, which means they are good at transporting the heat of the steam without causing unwanted cooling.
In terms of diameter, a copper pipe with a diameter of 15 mm is usually recommended. This provides a sufficient flow rate to feed the steam generator efficiently. In addition, it is large enough to ensure a steady flow of steam, but small enough to maintain a high pressure, which is important for generating steam.
