A humidifying apparatus includes a water tank provided to hold water, a heating device configured to heat the water held in the water tank, a discharge chamber disposed above the water tank and including an outlet configured to discharge steam generated in the water tank due to the water being heated, a guide chamber between the water tank and the discharge chamber configured to guide the steam generated in the water tank into the discharge chamber, and a screen at a central portion of the guide chamber and spaced apart from an inner sidewall of the guide chamber to form a gap between the screen and the inner sidewall, so that the screen interferes with a flow of the steam guided by the guide chamber and allows the steam to flow through the gap to then be guided by the guide chamber into the discharge chamber.

A humidifier obtains, based on detection values of a first and second temperature and humidity sensors, the amount of humidification, the amount of water evaporated by a humidifying material per preset time, controls the amount of water supplied by a water supply unit per the preset time to be smaller than a specific value when the amount of humidification obtained at the present time is increased compared to the amount of humidification obtained at the previous time, and controls the amount of water supplied by the water supply unit per the preset time to be equal to or greater than the specific value when the amount of humidification obtained at the present time is decreased compared to the amount of humidification obtained at the previous time or when the amount of humidification obtained at the present time is equal to the amount of humidification obtained at the previous time.

A gas humidifier can have a gas channel comprising an inlet and an outlet. A portion of the gas channel can have a region having a reduction in cross-sectional area relative to the portions of the gas channel outside of the region. A water conduit can extend from the region to a water reservoir. A heating element can heat water entering the region from the water conduit. Water vaporized using the heating element can join the flow of gases passing through the gas channel in use.

BUILDING FEATURE APPLIED IN AIR-CONDITIONING APPLIANCE, capable of enriching the air with atomized water droplets in two stages, where in a first moment the water sent directly from the water supply network is pre-atomized in an appliance (8); being then delivered to the main atomizer (9), which produces the final atomization, creating an ultrafine mist that facilitates the thermal exchange between the mist and the air. The air-conditioning appliance must be associated to a fan so as to spread this mist to the room.

A humidifier assembly is configured to humidify a pressurized flow of breathable gas from a flow generator of a CPAP unit and includes a base configured to be attached to the flow generator, the base including a recess portion. A water receptacle is configured to be received within the recess portion of the base and includes a floor and a flange around an opening at the top of the water receptacle. A lid is hingedly attached to the base and is configured to pivot between an open position and a closed position. This lid includes a top wall, an outer depending wall, an inner depending wall in the form of a double wall, and an outlet pipe. A lid seal is attached to an underside of the top wall of the lid by way of a tongue and groove structure. A catch is located on the base and configured to lock the lid in the closed position.

Provided is a rotator structure of a nanomist-generating device which generates a nanomist by rotating a rotator having a conical shape, wherein a lower portion of the rotator is immersed in water and mist-scattering ports are disposed in an upper portion; the device generates a nanomist by scattering the water through the ports, the water being drawn up along an inner wall surface of the rotator by rotating the rotator; and a radius at an upper end of the ports is an upper portion radius R1, a height to the upper end of the ports from a waterline L is a drawing height H, and a mean angle between a horizontal line and the inner wall surface is a side surface mean angle θ1; and the angle θ1 is set within θ±5% of θ for θ satisfying a basic structure equation—R1 sin.sup.3θ+2 H cos θ sin.sup.2θ+H cos.sup.3θ=0.

The present utility model relates to a fogger, comprising: a casing with an air suction inlet and a spray port; an air duct assembly located in the said casing, wherein the air duct assembly includes an air duct shell and a fan, of which the said air duct shell has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an air duct that connects the said air inlet and the said air outlet, and the said fan is located in the said air duct; the said air inlet is connected to the said air suction inlet, the said air outlet is connected to the said spray port; and a liquid storage tank located in the said casing, wherein the liquid storage tank delivers liquid to the said spray port via a liquid delivery tube, and the said air duct is connected to the said liquid storage tank via an air delivery tube. A fogger of the present utility model can effectively improve the convenience of use.

A CPAP device for delivering pressurized, humidified breathable gas for a patient includes a flow generator configured to pressurize a flow of breathable gas. The flow generator includes an air outlet and a removable water container configured to humidify the pressurized breathable gas received from the flow generator. The water container includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The CPAP device further includes a first elastomeric face seal configured to sealingly abut against a substantially flat portion of the water container surrounding the water container air inlet, the first elastomeric face seal being located at an intermediate position between the flow generator air outlet and the water container air inlet when the water container is placed into position to pneumatically communicate with the flow generator. In addition, the CPAP device includes a second elastomeric face seal, a portion of which is configured to sealingly abut against a substantially flat external surface portion of the water container surrounding the water container air outlet.
