A humidifying air purifier includes a door assembly supported and configured to be selectively drawn out of a front side of a cabinet and drawn into the front side of the cabinet to respectively open and close an inner portion of the cabinet. The door assembly includes an accommodation portion configured to support an air filter and a humidifying device which are both drawn out of and into the humidifying air purifier with the door assembly.

A system for humidifying and cooling an air flow and includes a frame, porous evaporation panels mounted on the frame, water dispersing elements arranged above the panels and a supply system including a control unit configured to supply water to the dispersing elements. The control unit includes the control elements that can be independently controlled from each other between an evaporation configuration wherein the water supply flow-rate is equal to a flow-rate of the water that is evaporated through the associated porous evaporation panel, and a cleaning configuration wherein the water supply flow-rate is greater than a flow-rate of the water that is evaporated through the porous evaporation panel, so as to create a water flow.

A humidifier has a base and a housing. The housing has a steam exhaust vent and a vaporizer. The vaporizer includes a heating element surrounded by a removable porous sleeve that protrudes downwardly into water within a reservoir of the base. The sleeve wicks the water including its minerals and impurities into contact with the heating element wherein energization of the heating element causes the wicked water to convert to steam that rises through the exhaust vent and from the housing during a humidification mode.

A mushroom growing appliance includes a grow chamber defined within a cabinet and a climate control system for regulating the humidity and gas concentrations within the grow chamber. The climate control system includes a water reservoir positioned within the grow chamber for receiving water; a wicking filter positioned at least partially within the water reservoir for wicking the water into the wicking filter; a water supply system comprising a water storage tank that is mounted adjacent the cabinet above the water reservoir, the water storage tank fluidly coupled to the water reservoir through a water supply opening defined through the cabinet; a recirculation fan positioned adjacent the wicking filter for selectively urging a flow of recirculation air through the wicking filter and back into the grow chamber; and a fresh air fan positioned adjacent the wicking filter for urging a flow of fresh air through the wicking filter and into the grow chamber.

An apparatus for treating air, such as an air humidifier, air cleaner, air washer or the like, may include a rinse-around body around which liquid rinses, an air conduction system arranged to stream the air to be treated against the rinse-around body, and an electrostatic precipitator assigned to the rinse-around body such that solid and/or liquid particles are precipitated from the air to be treated streaming against the rinse-around body and that the precipitated particles enter the liquid.

A humidifying system includes a water panel, and a distribution tray, where the distribution tray provides water to the water panel. The system includes at least one eductor fluidly coupled to the distribution tray and a scale control tray. The system also includes a valve assembly fluidly coupled to a water supply at a first inlet and is fluidly coupled to the at least one eductor via an outlet, where the valve assembly controls water flow through the at least one eductor. The valve assembly includes a second inlet in fluid communication with the scale control tray, where a wastewater flow from the scale control tray through the second inlet is controlled by a first valve and a freshwater flow from the water supply through the first inlet is controlled by a second valve. A configuration of the first valve is based on an operational state of the second valve.
