Abstract
There is provided a compact and lightweight steam generator capable of efficiently and economically generating steam. An impeller is disposed in a housing. While the impeller is rotated by hot water poured inside the housing through a hot water inlet, the hot water is spread to generate steam inside the housing. By a ventilation fan to be operated in association with the impeller, the steam generated inside the housing is blown off into a shower room. The hot water poured inside the housing is discharged to the inside of a hot water reservoir through a discharge port. Steam generated inside the hot water reservoir, is drawn into the inside of the housing and then blown off into the shower room.
