Apparatus to humidify a room

Abstract

Apparatus to humidify a room, comprising an area containing water (35), a humidifier circuit (12) which passes through and / or laps the area containing water (35), at least a suction member (15), to take in ambient air and to introduce at least a fraction of the air inside the humidifier circuit (12) upstream of the area containing water (35), and a water fragmentation member (30, 33) able to form a fine dispersion of drops of water in the area containing water (35). The humidifier circuit (12) is configured, with respect to the area containing water (35), so that the fraction of air taken in by the suction member (15) meets the fine dispersion of drops of water and transports it toward the exit into the room of the humidifier circuit (12), to form a humidified and nebulized stream.; At least downstream of the area containing water (35), associated with the humidifier circuit (12), there are heating means (17, 1 17) to heat the humidified and nebulized fluid, able to supply to the stream a desired energy input.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for increasing the humidity of a room, space, volume or the like, in particular the device of the invention is used to increase the humidity level of a room in an adjustable manner, without the need to substantially or appreciably change the temperature of the room. Background technique [0002] Currently known humidifiers are used in substantially enclosed spaces, such as indoors, bedrooms, offices, or other similar places, in order to increase the humidity level, such as to increase the humidity level especially, but not exclusively, to make breathing easier for children . [0003] There are two main types of known humidifiers, one is called a hot humidifier and the other is called a cold humidifier. [0004] Thermal humidifiers are similar to ordinary misters in that a volume of water is heated to boiling point and dispersed into the environment as steam. [0005] This type of humidifier has disadvantages....

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] This type of humidifier has disadvantages. Due to the large temperature difference between the steam temperature and the room temperature, a certain amount of condensed water may be generated, especially on the inner wall of the room. A certain amount of condensed water may be generated over time. The passage of time will promote deposition, mold and bacterial growth

[0006] Another disadvantage is the massive formation of scale on the heating resistors, which leads to a loss of efficiency and requires frequent maintenance operations

[0007] The advantage of a cold humidifier is that it increases the humidity of the air using very little energy demand, but on the other hand a cold humidifier has the disadvantage, at least from a sensory point of view, that it causes a decrease in the room temperature
