Claims20
A ventilating apparatus comprising:
- a ventilating unit comprising a heat exchanger to heat-exchange air (room air) exhausted from a room with air sucked from the outside (outside air);
- a humidifying unit comprising a water supply tank to store water configured to humidify the sucked-air (the outside air) sucked by the ventilating unit and a humidification member to humidify the air heat-exchanged in the heat exchanger of the ventilating unit, while having the air to pass there through;
- and
- a collecting unit comprising a water collecting tank to collect water failing to be absorbed into the humidification member out of the water supplied from the water supply tank and a collecting pipe to guide the water collected in the water collecting tank toward the water supply tank,
- wherein the water supply tank is provided beyond the humidification member and the water collecting tank is provided below the humidification member.

A humidifying unit comprising:
- a water supply tank to store water therein;
- a humidification member to absorb the water supplied from the water supply tank and to humidify air passing there through;
- a water collecting tank to collect water falling outside the humidification member, failing to be absorbed, out of the water supplied to the humidification member;
