PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify construction work by dissolving piping work for discharging liquid that is left non-atomized in a liquid atomizing device and a sauna apparatus using the liquid atomizing device.SOLUTION: The liquid atomizing device includes: a heat exchanger 7 and a fan motor 8 provided in an air duct that connects a suction port 4 to an exhaust port 5 a liquid atomizing means 9 provided between the fan motor 8 and the exhaust port 5 and a control means for controlling the liquid atomizing means, the heat exchanger 7, and the fan motor 8. A rotating means 13 of the liquid atomizing means 9 includes: a rotating shaft 19 and an inverse-cone-shaped column pipe 22 that is formed in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 19 integrally with a plurality of rotating plates 20a, 20b, and 20c that are rotationally turned about the rotating shaft 19. The exhaust port 5 includes a rotational louver 28 having a rotational shaft 29 in the exhaust port 5 at the other side of the suction port 4. The control means 35 allows the rotational louver 28 to turn an exhaust direction from the exhaust port 5 to the side of the suction port 4 and performs a drying operation for drying residual water in the device.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、液体微細化装置とそれを用いたサウナ装置に関するもので、微細化できなかった液体の排出のための配管施工を解消し、施工工事を簡単にすることを目的とする。【解決手段】吸込口4と排気口5を結ぶ風路に設けた熱交換器7およびファンモータ8と、このファンモータ8と排気口5間に設けた液体微細化手段9と、この液体微細化手段と熱交換器7およびファンモータ8を制御する制御手段を備え、液体微細化手段9の回転手段13は、回転軸19と、この回転軸19の軸方向に、回転軸19を中心として回動する複数の回転板20a,20b、20cと一体に形成された、逆円錐状の揚水管22を備え、排気口5には回動軸29を排気口5の吸込口4と反対側に設けた回動ルーバ28を有し、制御手段35は、回動ルーバ28により排気口5からの排気方向を吸込口4側へ向け、装置内の残水を乾燥させる乾燥運転を行う。【選択図】図2
