Different Types of Humidifiers


!±8± Different Types of Humidifiers

There are several types of Humidifiers out on the market today but I am just going to discuss the 3 main types in this article. They are evaporative, vaporizer, and forced air humidifiers.

Evaporative: This type is probably the most common of all the humidifiers, it consists of a reservoir, a wick and a fan along side the outer casing which houses all of these components. The reservoir which holds all of the water that will be put into the air is usually located on the side and is clear to help show the amount if water left inside. It has a wick dropped down inside of it that soaks up all of the water, and then the fan which constantly blows on the wick causes the water to evaporate releasing it into the air. This is the most simple of all the humidifiers.

Vaporizer: This is another common humidifier that uses a container of water, but instead of a wick and a fan it boils the water, which creates steam and is periodically releases the steam into the air in the room to keep the moisture level right. These are generally more healthy than other humidifiers because the steam is sterile and free of minerals. Medical inhalants can be used inside these to prevent coughs when needed.

Forced-Air Humidifier: This is a larger version of a humidifier that can be built right in to the houses ventilation system and can be used to humidify the entire home, unlike the previous two which a generally smaller and are confined to one or two rooms. These systems are used when the air from the furnace or other cooling units is passed through it and can even cut down on heating costs in the winter time.
