HUMIDIFIER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240200800 titled 'HUMIDIFIER
The present disclosure pertains to a humidifier with a unique design to improve mist production and air circulation within the device.
- The humidifier includes a case with an inlet and outlet, a humidification reservoir that produces mist, a blower fan for creating an ascending air stream, and a flow path heater for heating the air stream.
- The mist produced in the humidification reservoir rises through an open top, while the ascending air stream is heated by the flow path heater.
- A discharge flow path above the reservoir allows the mist and air stream to flow to the outlet, with a blower flow path guiding the air stream to the discharge flow path.
Potential Applications:
- Home humidification
- Office environments
- Medical facilities for respiratory therapy
Problems Solved:
- Inefficient mist production
- Poor air circulation
- Limited coverage area
Benefits:
- Improved mist dispersion
- Enhanced air circulation
- Better overall humidification performance
Commercial Applications:
- HVAC systems
- Consumer electronics
- Healthcare equipment
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the flow path heater enhance the performance of the humidifier? 2. What sets this humidifier apart from traditional models in terms of mist production and air circulation?
Frequently Updated Research: Studies on the impact of improved air quality on health and productivity in indoor environments could provide valuable insights into the benefits of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a humidifier. a humidifier of the present disclosure includes: a case having an inlet and a outlet with an open top; a humidification reservoir disposed within the case, that produces mist and has an open top so that the produced mist rises therethrough; a blower fan disposed below the humidification reservoir, that creates an ascending air stream within the case; and a flow path heater disposed within the case, that heats the ascending air stream blown from the blower fan, wherein a discharge flow path is formed above the humidification reservoir, through which the ascending air stream and the mist produced in the humidification reservoir flow to the outlet, a blower flow path is formed inside the case, through which the ascending air stream blown from the blower fan flows to the discharge flow path, and the flow path heater is disposed in the blower flow path.
