Generator Sizing Guide
To estimate which Generator to choose, you simply need to work out your steam room volume m3, which equates to Length x Width x Height. However, there are certain factors such as the materials utilised and the height of the steam room that might necessitate a more powerful generator.
With the following calculation we have included an example based on a steam room sized 1.5m L x 1.8m W x 2.2m H, this steam room has a full 10mm glass front 1.5m and porcelain tiles.
- For Natural stone or marble, multiple by 2.0
- For ceramic / porcelain tiles or glass, multiple by 1.2
- For one exterior wall such as a glass door ,multiple by 1.1 For two exterior walls such as a corner enclosure, multiple by 1.3
- Select a generator with a “MaximumCubic Metre Range” that is equal to orgreater than your Adjusted Cubic Metre.In this example we have an AdjustedCubic Metre.
- Example
- Cubic Metre 1.5 x 1.8 x 2.2 = 5.94 m3
- Material Adjustment 5.94 x 1.2 = 7.128 m3
- Exterior Wall Adjustment 7.128 x 1.1 = 7.8m3
- Select a Generator
SMS-9 because its output is up to 10m3which is higher than our Adjusted CubicMeter and the SMS-6 Generator is only recommended up to 5.8 m3 which is lower then our Adjusted Cubic Meter. - These variables are for optimum performance,
if your walls and ceiling are constructed of a cement based insulation board, there would be no need for Ceramic/Porcelain and tile additions. - If you require a higher kilowatt option or smart shower additions we offer an additional range of system please contact sales@steamist.co.uk.
