Abstract
A convection steam oven includes an enclosure with a fan for circulating air and heating elements downstream of the fan. An inlet pipe conducts water from a water supply to an outlet orifice directing a jet of water onto a spray cone that throws the water onto the fins of the fan and onto the heating elements. The inlet pipe includes a water flowrate regulator device including a watertight storage tank, an overflow pipe and a vent pipe. A solenoid valve controlled by a timer is provided upstream of the storage tank. This assures regular production of steam within the enclosure
