A standard home outlet in North America is 15 amps protecting a #14 copper conductor. The circuit should only be loaded to 80% of the circuits capacity. Watts = Amps x Volts = 15 x 120 = 1800. 1800 x .80 = 1440. As you can see a standard outlet does not meet the requirements, with or without the de-rate factor, that the sauna manufacturer recommends. The amperage that the sauna needs is, Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 2035/120 = 16.9 or (17 amps).

The circuit for the sauna would require a single pole 20 amp breaker feeding a #12 copper conductor which is rated for 20 amps. The amperage rating of the sauna is just over the 80% by .9 of an amp. This amperage is close enough that it would be passed by an electrical inspector if this project were to be inspected.

How many kW heater required for 100 sq ft sauna?

A 10' x 10' = 100 sq feet, sauna is a very large sauna. A large 8000 watt (8 kW) sauna heater will only heat a maximum of 67 sq. feet. This size sauna will be getting into the commercial size heating units.Your sauna will have a volume of 800 cubic feet. It will need a 14.4 kW heater which will do a volume from 630 to 950 sq. feet. This size sauna unit will draw A = W/E = 14000/240 = 60 amps. The feeder conductors can only be loaded to 80% capacity and de-rated because of temperatures over 35 degrees C, so they will need to be a #4 which will give a capacity of 76 amps.

How long do you need to stay in the sauna with a sauna suit to lose 1.5 kilo?

I have been using sauna for 25 years almost weekly and I have no idea what a sauna suit is. Finns usually go naked in to the sauna. But the answer to your questions is "never" or "after a very long time". It requires you to be very obese to be even be able to lose 1.5 kg with sauna.The thing with sauna is that it causes you only to sweat, it is a way to cleanse yourself. There is no other magical weight burning effects. When a human body sweats too much, you get dehydrated and sudden dehydration is not healthy.
