Humidifier is designed for those who care about health - both their own and the health of their loved ones. Air humidifier is a very easy-to-use device that does not require you to have any special skills to install it. Simply plug the plug into the outlet and enjoy the comfortable microclimate of your house around the clock. Humidifier can also be made by hand. Especially it is necessary in the winter season in heated rooms.
Steam cleaner and humidifier
In operation, the steam humidifier resembles an ordinary teapot in that hot steam is released from it just like from a kitchen kettle. Therefore, even if you do not have the opportunity to pour clean water into it, it will still be cleaned from bacteria and microbes at the outlet to a state of sterility. This also makes it possible to use a steam humidifier as a device for medical inhalation, as evidenced by numerous positive feedback from its users. For this purpose, the steam air humidifier has a special bath located next to the outlet of the steam.
Steam humidifiers - the most powerful in performance (in comparison with others), they are able to produce up to 700 grams of liquid per hour, which allows them to be used to maintain a moist and warm microclimate in winter gardens, greenhouses and greenhouses and increase indoor humidity by 60 % and even more.
The most popular models are Boneco-2031, Air-O-Swiss 1346 and Air-O-Swiss 1345.
To determine the amount of water left in the steam humidifier there is a built-in special indicator. If the water in it ends, it automatically turns off.
The advantage of an air humidifier of this type is the absence of any consumables that require replacement (cartridges and replaceable filters). The reliable steam humidifier body is made of heat-resistant special plastic.
Also, it is impossible to switch on the steam humidifier with the cap tightly closed to fill the water.
To steam humidifier does not accidentally turn over, it provides a special design that will not allow this to happen. It is also equipped with a convenient handle for carrying it.
Among the disadvantages of this type of air humidifier is the consumption of more electricity than other air humidifiers. Also, steam humidifiers do not have a built-in hygrostat (device to maintain a given level of humidity).
Ultrasonic humidifier
Unlike steam humidifiers, the ultrasonic air humidifier at the outlet does not have hot, but cold steam, as the principles of their operation vary considerably. But it also, like the steam, cleans the air (and even ionizes it), which removes unpleasant smells, dust, cigarette smoke and so on.
The ultrasonic air humidifier operates on the principle of vibration of the high frequency membrane, which gives cold steam at the outlet. This gives an opportunity for its successful use in the children's room. There are many positive reviews about this in the worldwide Internet.
Particularly popular are such models as Vitek VT-1761, Vitek VT-1765, Vitek VT-1766, Boneco 7133, Boneco 7131, Boneco 7135 and Boneco 7136.
The vaporizer of ultrasonic air humidifiers has a rotating structure, which allows you to direct the steam emerging from it to any desired side and turn it away from those places where it is not desirable to get the steam (computer, furniture, walls, etc.).
It is convenient and safe to use in those rooms where there are items that require special care and certain permissible parameters of humidity (antique furniture, expensive parquet, valuable musical instruments and so on).
A significant difference between an ultrasonic humidifier and a steam humidifier is the presence of an integrated hygrostat in it, which allows maintaining the initially established humidity of the air in the room. The ultrasonic air humidifier automatically switches on and off to maintain humidity.
Ultrasound air humidifiers are generally much smaller in size than steam humidifiers, but just like they can increase the humidity in the room by more than 60%. In addition, they have a more attractive and compact appearance than, for example, steam. This gives an excellent opportunity to connect them in any place you need.
If the water in its special tank is terminated, the ultrasonic humidifier will automatically shut off automatically.
Among the shortcomings of ultrasonic air humidifiers is the need for regular replacement of the filter with ion exchange resin approximately every few months (depending on the frequency of use).
In addition, if the water in your area is too hard, then the period of use of the filter is less. If you do not change the filter, this can lead to the fact that on the furniture, all the horizontal surfaces and walls, will fall a touch of white.
Classic air humidifier
When using a traditional air-humidifier, the necessary microclimate in the room is achieved by the special evaporator grid inside it, continuously saturated with water from the built-in tank. The fan distributes the moistened air around the room.
Popular and popular models are Air-O-Swiss 2041, Boneco 1359 and Air-O-Swiss 2051.
In a traditional air humidifier, a hygrostat is not required, since it operates according to the principle of self-regulation. In addition, it does not give a visible stream of steam at the output, which does not attract the attention of small children (or domestic animals) to it. Also an advantage is that the amount of water in the air humidifier is visually visible. But even if the water runs out and the fan runs, it will not affect its performance and the life of the humidifier.
In the classic air humidifier, as a rule, there is a special aromocapsule (excluding such models as Boneco 1359 and Air Comfort D-290).
Among the shortcomings can be called the impossibility of raising the humidity level in the room by more than 60% and the availability of a replaceable filter with a service life of about a month Filter Matt 2541.
How to choose a humidifier
When deciding how and what kind of humidifier to choose, it is necessary to pay attention to such air humidifier data specified in its passport, as the area of the serviced room (apartment) in which it is planned to install it. These data (the area of the room and the ability of the moisturizer to serve it) should coincide. That is, if the air-humidifier's passport indicates that it is able to fully moisturize the air in a room of up to 30 m 2, and your room corresponds to these parameters, then you made the right choice - this device suits you.
Also an important indicator is the capacity of the vessel for humidifier water, it must be at least five liters. Then the air in the bedroom will have the right level of humidity throughout the night. Otherwise, you have to wake up, get up and pour water into the vessel.
Well, if a reliable shutdown timer is installed on the air humidifier. Then he independently, without any of your participation, will turn off after the set time.
But how do you know if the room is sufficiently humidified, is there a lack (or excess) of moisture? This will help the built-in function to maintain the desired level of humidity. When buying, be sure to ask about it from the seller in the store.
A quality air humidifier will help maintain the necessary level of microclimate in the apartment (or house), which will serve as an excellent prevention of the incidence of respiratory and skin diseases.
Air humidifier
In winter, the air in the heated rooms is excessively dry, its humidity does not rise above 40% (at a rate of not less than 60%). If there is no opportunity to purchase a quality air humidifier in the store, you can make it from your own materials with your own hands. There are many options for self-made air humidifier for use in the heating season.
So, it is necessary to cut two 100 × 30 mm electrodes from a tin can and lay two transverse narrow rubber gaskets between them, leaving a gap between the electrodes of about 7-8 mm. Then it is necessary to fasten these two electrodes in the places of the gaskets with rubber rings or thick cotton threads (linen).
Then, the electrical wires must be soldered to the plates, which then must be twisted, insulated and an electric plug must be made to them.
The manufactured device should be placed on the bottom of glass or ceramic dishes with a wide neck, fill it with tap water almost up to the top and turn on the humidifier in the network. Through the gap between the electrodes there will be a current, the water will heat up and boil, the humidity of the air in the room will increase. Water will need to be added from time to time. If the water boils away, nothing will happen, as the electrodes of the device are bare, the electrical circuit will open and the device will stop functioning.
In fact, there are many options for manufacturing an air humidifier with your own hands. Choose your own and act!
