History of humidifiers
In ancient times, the main way people increased the humidity of
a room was by placing boiling water POTS on the fire and pouring hot water into the POTS to fill the room with steam. Although this method is simple and feasible, it has obvious limitations: first, when the temperature is relatively low, the steam generated by boiling water
pot can not adequately increase the humidity of the room; The second is the need to constantly heat water, so this method also has safety risks.
In the 1930s, evaporative humidifiers began to appear and became popular. Evaporative humidifier refers to a humidifier that releases water into the air. Its basic components include a water tank, a wick, and a fan. At work, the water in the tank is channeled into the wick, which gives off steam through natural evaporation and is blown into the air by a fan.
Now ultrasonic technology is being introduced into humidifiers. Compared with steam humidifiers, ultrasonic humidifiers have the advantages of small size,
low energy consumption, low sound and not easy to breed bacteria.
Ultrasonic humidifiers use ceramic oscillators to produce high frequency mechanical vibrations that release water into the air.
