Abstract
The invention relates to a steam cutting device (), comprising at least one container (), for a fluid (), a current source (), a controller () and a burner (), connected to the container (), by means of a supply line (), for generation of a steam jet exiting through a nozzle. According to the invention, such a steam cutting device (), in which no, or almost no fluid is found in the burner in stand-by mode or after switch-off of the steam cutting device such that post-evaporation can be avoided, may be achieved, whereby a relief line () is connected to the supply line (), for relieving the supply line () and/or the burner (), on or after the ending of the steam cutting process. A regulation valve () can be provided in the relief line, which can be connected to the controller () itself coupled to a sensor (), for determining the pressure in the burner ().
