AIR HUMIDIFYING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: systems for ventilation and air conditioning.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes housing having pan, inlet and outlet branch pipes, heat exchanging plates of capillary-porous material partially immersed into pan with water. Converging insert is arranged in cylindrical housing of apparatus. Ejection windows are cut out on surface of housing in front of walls of converging insert. Plates of capillary-porous material are arranged vertically and they overlap ejection windows; upper ends of said plates are mounted higher than said windows, their lower ends are immersed into pan with water. Outlet branch pipe of apparatus having diffuser shape at air outlet and cylinder shape of the remaining part is arranged coaxially with housing and it has diameter slightly less than inner diameter of housing. It provides minimum gap between inner surface of housing and outer surface of outlet branch pipe and possibility of motion of branch pipe inside housing along its axis by action of light effort of hand of operator for partially or completely overlapping ejection windows. Flow rate of air is controlled in apparatus by means of flap-type valve arranged in inlet branch pipe. Air distribution is realized by means of diffusers concentrically arranged in diffuser part of outlet branch pipe and having less diameters. Partitions are placed diametrically between less -diameter diffusers. Ducts restricted by diffusers and partitions are provided with air swirlers. All constructional members of apparatus except capillary-porous plate are made of corrosion-proof material.

EFFECT: possibility for controlling air humidity at outlet of humidifying device and distributing humidified air in room.
