Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial field of application" The present invention keeps the environment comfortable by increasing water vapor in the air as necessary, or cultivates fungi, cultivates microorganisms, heats foods. It is used for warehouses.

"Prior art" Humidity control in the room is much more difficult than temperature control, and most of the humidifiers currently on the market are ultrasonic generators, which generate fine particles of water. Because it is not water vapor, water particles combine and grow at the corners of the room, inside the chest of drawers, etc. where air stagnates, forming droplets that wet walls and furniture, damaging them and causing harmful mold. The spores scattered by these often damage the human body.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention facilitates evaporation by giving latent heat necessary for evaporation to water so that water in the air can exist as complete water vapor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a humidifier having a structure in which a yarn is flowed down to give moisture to an air flow passing around.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial sectional plan view of an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view. The heater-added hot pot 1 is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the box-shaped main body 2 with the heat insulating material, and the pump 5 and the water supply pipe 10 are screwed to the pump 1, and the pump 5 is connected to the pump 15 and one end of which is connected. It is opened at the top of the evaporator 3. Inlet port 12 of box-shaped body 2 with heat insulating material
A fan 7 is provided below the fan, and the structure is such that the fan 7 can communicate with the outside only through this fan. An air damper 11 is provided in front of the fan 7 so that the amount of air to the evaporator can be freely adjusted by a lever 14. Further, there is a water supply device 9 on the lower right side outside the box-shaped body with a heat insulating material, and is connected to a heating pan with a heater by a water supply pipe 10 with a wall body therebetween.
The water level is always kept constant by using the same replenishing water as the cartridge tank of the oil stove used in general households. Further, the drive motor 8 of the fan 7 and the pumping pump drive motor 6 have their respective rotary shafts penetrating the wall body and coupled to the internal equipment.

The evaporator 3 is fixed to the upper lid 4, and the fixed portion is a square water pool into which the end of the pumping pipe penetrates. A large number of small holes are formed in the bottom surface of the water pool, and a glass fiber thread 17 entangles the space between it and a lower plate, which is in contrast to this, to cover the entire surface. When attached, the lower end of the pot is soaked in water of the heating pan 1 with a heater.

[Operation] When the power cord is inserted into the outlet 16 and an electric current is applied, the heater cast in the bottom part of the heating pan with a heater is heated and the water temperature rises. The water temperature varies depending on the purpose of use, but when it reaches a temperature set to a desired temperature, this temperature is maintained by the function of a commonly used bimetal type temperature controller. On the other hand, the heated water reaches the upper part of the evaporator 3 by the pump 5, and flows down along the glass fiber yarn 17 which is entangled with the entire surface of the evaporator 3. At that time, it contacts the air sent by the fan 7 and evaporates. Evaporation is carried out until reaching the water vapor partial pressure at the contacting air temperature, but since the contact area of the evaporator is very large, even if the air flow passes in a short time, the relative humidity is sufficiently humidified to near 100%. be able to. Moreover, the temperature can be freely adjusted by switching a part or all of the air sent into the evaporator 3 to the passage on the outer circumference of the heater-added heating pan 1 by the air damper 11.
In the evaporator 3, the inorganic salts dissolved when the water is evaporated remain. They are adsorbed on the glass fiber threads 17 and so do not affect their ability to vaporize. When the glass fiber thread 17 is covered with scale and becomes thick after being used for a long time, it is necessary to remove the evaporator 3 from the upper lid 4 and replace the glass fiber thread 17 with a new one. The refilling is performed by passing the glass fiber thread 17 through the hole, and can be completed by anyone and in a short time. The humidified air is guided to a desired position and discharged. On the other hand, the residual water after evaporation returns to the heating pan with a heater again, but when the water evaporates, about 600 cal / g of heat is released as replacement heat, and the temperature drops. Therefore, it is repeated to heat this again and send it to the evaporator.

"Effects" (1) Water dissolves various inorganic substances as ions, but since it is removed by the evaporator, scale does not adhere to the heating pan with the heater. Therefore, the heat transfer efficiency does not decrease and it is economical.

(2) It is hygienic without being contaminated by mold even when used indoors.

(3) It is effective as a simple means of transporting heat energy.

(4) Prevent the generation of static electricity on synthetic clothing.
