A humid air forming device, which cools an object to be measured to a predetermined temperature, and which sprays humid air having a predetermined temperature to the cooled object to be measured, thereby forming moisture particles on the surface of the object to be measured, and a measurement system including the same. The humid air forming device includes a cooling unit that cools the object to be measured to a first temperature or lower; and a humid air supply unit that forms humid air having a second temperature, which is higher than the first temperature, and spraying the humid air toward the surface of the cooled object to be measured, thereby forming moisture particles on the surface of the cooled object to be measured.

The present invention provides an improved portable steam humidifier. According to a preferred embodiment, the improved humidifier of the present invention preferably includes a spiral mixing chamber connected to a steam chamber, a spiral outlet duct, an inlet duct and an outlet grill. According to a preferred embodiment, the inlet duct preferably receives air from an inlet fan and directs the air into the spiral mixing chamber where the air is mixed with water vapor from the steam chamber. According to a further preferred embodiment, the air is further directed from the spiral mixing chamber through the spiral outlet duct out through the outlet grill.
