Turkish Bath Overview

Complete overview of the Turkish bath: what a hammam is, how it works, ideal temperatures and humidity, health benefits, and differences from the sauna.

1 What is a Turkish Bath

The Turkish bath (or hammam) is an environment saturated with water vapor that allows temperatures between 35°C and 55°C to be reached with 100% humidity. Unlike the Finnish sauna, the Turkish bath uses saturated steam produced by an external generator, creating a humid and enveloping environment that promotes deep relaxation and skin purification.

1.1 Turkish Bath Benefits

  • Deep skin purification through pore opening
  • Muscle relaxation and tension reduction
  • Improved blood circulation
  • Respiratory tract clearance
  • Stress and anxiety reduction
  • Toxin elimination through sweating
  • Skin and mucous membrane hydration

2 How the Steam Generator Works

The heart of the Turkish bath is the electric steam generator (vaporizer), installed outside the cabin, which produces high-temperature saturated steam distributed inside through copper pipes.

2.1 Operating Principle

  1. Automatic filling: The solenoid valve opens and fills the chamber to the optimal level
  2. Heating: Electric heating elements heat the water to boiling point
  3. Steam production: Saturated steam forms and is conveyed into the cabin
  4. Temperature control: The internal sensor automatically regulates steam production
  5. Automatic drainage: When OFF is pressed, the system drains the condensate and washes the heating elements

WARNING: The drainage system is essential to maintain generator efficiency. Never interrupt the drain cycle.

3 Main Components

3.1 Steam Generator

Main heating element, available in different power ratings (3 kW, 4.5 kW, 6 kW, 9 kW, 10.5 kW) based on cabin dimensions. Can be powered in single-phase (220-240V) or three-phase (380V).

3.2 Generator Components

  • Side panel and top cover
  • Water inlet valve with solenoid valve
  • Drain valve for drainage
  • Safety valve
  • Steam outlet to cabin
  • Electric heating elements
  • Water level sensor
  • Power supply

3.3 LCD Control Panel

The digital control panel allows complete system management:

TIMETimer settingRange 1-60 minutes
LIGHTLighting controlCabin light on/off
UP/DOWNValue adjustmentIncrease/decrease temperature and time

NOTE: During heating, the display shows "SS". During drainage it shows "d" or "dd".

3.4 Cabin Structure

The cabin is made with modular acrylic panels with an interlocking assembly system using rubber gaskets. It includes:

  • Acrylic side panels with integrated seats
  • Smooth acrylic panels for walls
  • Curved panels for the roof
  • Tempered glass door
  • Rubber gaskets for steam seal

3.5 Safety and Automation

Each Turkish bath is equipped with:

  • Automatic filling with 10-minute timeout
  • Automatic section heating
  • Automatic drainage at each cycle
  • Automatic shutdown after 45 minutes
  • Overpressure safety valve
  • Error codes for diagnostics

4 Standard Operating Parameters

4.1 Temperature and Humidity

ParameterValueNotes
Minimum temperature35°CFor beginners
Standard temperature43°CDefault setting
Maximum temperature55°CFor experienced users
Relative humidity100%Saturated steam
Maximum session duration45 minutesAutomatic shutdown

NOTE: The lower temperatures of the Turkish bath compared to the Finnish sauna are compensated by 100% humidity which intensifies the perception of heat.

4.2 Hydraulic Requirements

  • Cold water inlet: Max pressure 0.2 MPa (2 kg/cm²)
  • Pipes: Copper only (temperatures up to 150°C)
  • Minimum diameter: 1/2 inch for all connections
  • Steam outlet: Max length 3 meters, insulation if longer
  • Drain: Separate from cabin drain (hot water)
