PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify construction work by eliminating piping construction for discharging liquid that cannot be atomized regarding a liquid atomizing apparatus and a sauna apparatus using it.SOLUTION: The liquid atomizing apparatus includes: a heat exchanger 7 and a fan motor 8 provided to 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 9, the heat exchanger 7 and the fan motor 8. The rotating means 13 of the liquid atomizing means 9 includes a rotary shaft 19, and a pumping pipe 22 in an inverse conical shape formed integrally with a plurality of rotary plates 20a-20c to be turned centering on the rotary shaft 19 in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 19. The control means includes a control part 29 for controlling water supply to the rotating means 13 and the operation of the rotating means 13, the heat exchanger 7 and the fan motor 8. The control part 29 clocks elapsed time after an atomizing operation is stopped and performs a residual liquid drying operation of residual liquid inside a water supply pipe 14 on the basis of the elapsed time.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9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を中心に回動する複数の回転板20a~20cと一体に形成された、逆円錐状の揚水管22を備え、前記制御手段は、回転手段13への水供給と回転手段13と熱交換器7およびファンモータ8の運転とを制御する制御部29を備え、この制御部29は、微細化運転停止後の経過時間を計測し、その経過時間にもとづいて、給水管14内の残液の残液乾燥運転を行う。【選択図】図4
