Abstract
The invention relates to electrical engineering, more specifically to air humidifiers for creating an artificial microclimate and can be used to increase humidity in any rooms or offices. The humidifier solves a technical problem of increasing an evaporation surface of an evaporative filter. The forced uniform distribution of air flow on the surface of the evaporative filter and a free passage of air through said filter leads to an increase in air exchange inside a box and increases a rate of separation of water molecules from the surface of the evaporative filter, which leads to increased air humidifying efficiency in the room and to increased humidifier performance.

The slots 2 made in the upper part on the front side of the box 1 can be of any shape:
for example, round, rectangular.
The humidifier works as follows.
The air humidifier is installed on the floor of the room, water is poured through the holes 18 for supplying water to the water tank 4, the evaporative filter 5 absorbs water, since the lower part of the evaporative filter 5, fixed in the cradles 12, is submerged in water to the bottom of the water tank 4, and its upper part, located above the water tank 4, saturated with water due to the hygroscopicity of the evaporative filter 5, becomes wet.
Evaporative filter 5 with a constant area due to the cells 10 has a large evaporation surface.
When the fan 7 rotates, the dry air flow is forcibly drawn into the duct 1 through the rear open side 3, enters the narrow part 8 of the diffuser 6, passes through the fan blades 7 and enters 5 into the wide part 9 of the diffuser 6, which is adjacent to the evaporative filter... This creates air pressure on the evaporative filters 5. The air flow is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the 10 wet cells evaporative filter 5 located above the water tank 4, since the wide part 9 of the diffuser 6 is adjacent to the evaporative filter 5. The air freely passes through the cells 10 of the wet evaporative filter 5 and is saturated with water molecules, after which the humidified air, under the influence of air pressure, leaves the box 1 through the slots 2 on the front side of the box 1.
Forced uniform distribution of air flow on the surface of the evaporative filter and free passage of air through the cells leads to an increase in air exchange inside the box and increases the rate of separation of water molecules from the surface of the evaporative filter, which leads to an increase in the efficiency of humidifying air in the room and the productivity of the humidifier.
As the air flow created by the fan 7 intensively blows water molecules from the surface of the evaporating filter 5 through the diffuser 6, the evaporating filter 5 absorbs water from the water tank 4, as a result of which the water level in the latter gradually decreases.
Since the water tank 4 is made of transparent plastic, the water level float indicators 15 are visible through the windows 16. Control the water level. To ensure a continuous process of humidifying the room, it is necessary to regularly add water to the tank.
In a humidifier to increase the rate of evaporation of moisture it can be placed on a central heating radiator or any other household air heater.
Date recue/date received 2021-10-26 The air humidifier is mounted on the radiator by means of hooks 21, which are inserted into the side holes 22 made at different heights of the sides of the box 1 for different radiator dimensions.
The air humidifier is installed with the rear open side. 3 of the duct 1 on the front side of the radiator, while the radiator housing completely covers the rear open part 3 of the duct 1, as a result of which the heat radiation of the radiator has a thermal effect on the diffuser 6, the fan 7 and the upper part of the evaporative filters 5 located above the water tank 4.
During operation, fan 7 draws in air heated by the radiator through the rear open side 3 boxes 1, then warm air enters the diffuser 6, is evenly distributed in it over the entire area of the wet evaporative filter 5 located in the upper part of the duct 1 above the water tank 4, after which warm air freely passes through the cells 10 in the evaporative filter 5, saturated with moisture and goes beyond the vertical rectangular box 1 through the slots 2 on the front side of the vertical rectangular box 1.

The water tank 4 is made of transparent plastic. Water level float indicators 19 are installed in reservoir 4.
The box 1 on the front side has windows 20 for visual inspection of the water level float indicators 19.
The air humidifier has a means of attaching to a radiator or heater. The fastening means has hooks 21, and the box 1 has holes 22 for the hooks 21 on the sides.
The evaporative filter 5 is hygroscopic.
Date recue/date received 2021-10-26 The diffuser and fans are made of moisture resistant material such as plastic.
The slots 2 made in the upper part on the front side of the box 1 can be of any shape:
for example, round, rectangular.
The humidifier works as follows.
The air humidifier is installed on the floor of the room, water is poured through the holes 18 for supplying water to the water tank 4, the evaporative filter 5 absorbs water, since the lower part of the evaporative filter 5, fixed in the cradles 12, is submerged in water to the bottom of the water tank 4, and its upper part, located above the water tank 4, saturated with water due to the hygroscopicity of the evaporative filter 5, becomes wet.
Evaporative filter 5 with a constant area due to the cells 10 has a large evaporation surface.
When the fan 7 rotates, the dry air flow is forcibly drawn into the duct 1 through the rear open side 3, enters the narrow part 8 of the diffuser 6, passes through the fan blades 7 and enters 5 into the wide part 9 of the diffuser 6, which is adjacent to the evaporative filter... This creates air pressure on the evaporative filters 5. The air flow is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the 10 wet cells evaporative filter 5 located above the water tank 4, since the wide part 9 of the diffuser 6 is adjacent to the evaporative filter 5. The air freely passes through the cells 10 of the wet evaporative filter 5 and is saturated with water molecules, after which the humidified air, under the influence of air pressure, leaves the box 1 through the slots 2 on the front side of the box 1.
Forced uniform distribution of air flow on the surface of the evaporative filter and free passage of air through the cells leads to an increase in air exchange inside the box and increases the rate of separation of water molecules from the surface of the evaporative filter, which leads to an increase in the efficiency of humidifying air in the room and the productivity of the humidifier.
As the air flow created by the fan 7 intensively blows water molecules from the surface of the evaporating filter 5 through the diffuser 6, the evaporating filter 5 absorbs water from the water tank 4, as a result of which the water level in the latter gradually decreases.
Since the water tank 4 is made of transparent plastic, the water level float indicators 15 are visible through the windows 16. Control the water level. To ensure a continuous process of humidifying the room, it is necessary to regularly add water to the tank.
In a humidifier to increase the rate of evaporation of moisture it can be placed on a central heating radiator or any other household air heater.
Date recue/date received 2021-10-26 The air humidifier is mounted on the radiator by means of hooks 21, which are inserted into the side holes 22 made at different heights of the sides of the box 1 for different radiator dimensions.
The air humidifier is installed with the rear open side. 3 of the duct 1 on the front side of the radiator, while the radiator housing completely covers the rear open part 3 of the duct 1, as a result of which the heat radiation of the radiator has a thermal effect on the diffuser 6, the fan 7 and the upper part of the evaporative filters 5 located above the water tank 4.
During operation, fan 7 draws in air heated by the radiator through the rear open side 3 boxes 1, then warm air enters the diffuser 6, is evenly distributed in it over the entire area of the wet evaporative filter 5 located in the upper part of the duct 1 above the water tank 4, after which warm air freely passes through the cells 10 in the evaporative filter 5, saturated with moisture and goes beyond the vertical rectangular box 1 through the slots 2 on the front side of the vertical rectangular box 1.
The impact of the warm air generated by the radiator on the evaporative filter
5 makes it possible to increase the intensity of moisture evaporation from its surface, with a sufficiently compact size of the duct 1 and fan 7, to reduce energy consumption and noise level, in comparison with other known air humidifiers operating in the same way, but without using thermal energy generated by a radiator or other household air heater.
And also to increase the efficiency of room humidification due to the uniform distribution of humid air together with convection currents created by the radiator.
The use of air heated by a radiator for forced blowing of evaporative filters makes it possible to use less efficient fans in comparison with known humidifiers.
The use of heated air for forced blowing of the evaporative filters 5 by the fan 7 allows you to evenly distribute the air humidified by the device throughout the room, since the warm moist air coming out of the slots 2 in the front of the box 1 participates in the natural convection flows inside the room created by the radiator.
The air flow from the fan is directed forward, that is, air is supplied from the radiator side, which allows the evaporative filter to be blown with warm air heated from the radiator, which also contributes to an increase in the rate of moisture evaporation from the evaporative filter. In addition, the location of the air humidifier on the radiator with the fan turned on increases the speed of passage of air masses through the heating radiator, which also leads to an increase in heat transfer from the radiator and acceleration of natural convection in the room.
