US 2021/0010697 A1 · MIST HUMIDIFIER BLOWER METHODS AND SYSTEMS

Abstract

Mist based humidification systems are employed in numerous environments. However, such systems are typically small portable units whilst it would be beneficial to employ ultrasonic based mist humidifiers in larger environments. However, these environments introduce additional requirements such as reducing the emission/distribution of condensed water as droplets from the humidifier, allowing independent placement of the mist generator from the mist distribution element(s), and the requirement to “throw” the mist a reasonable distance into the environment rather than relying upon the circulation within the environment to achieve distribution. Embodiments of the invention address these issues whilst also supporting modular humidification systems operating at multiple capacities.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a frame to which a mist channel and a pressurised box are mechanically mounted;
the mist channel comprising:
an outlet disposed at one end;
and
an inlet at another distal end of the mist channel;
the pressurised box comprising:
a first portion enclosing a first predetermined portion of the mist channel on an upper side of the mist channel having an opening at the outlet of the mist channel and an inlet at a second distal end;
a second portion enclosing a second predetermined portion of the mist channel on a lower side of the mist channel having an opening at the outlet of the mist channel and an inlet at a second distal end;
wherein
at least one of a lower internal surface of the mist channel and an upper internal surface of the mist channel have a slope relative to a horizontal plane of the frame from the outlet of the mist channel towards the inlet of the mist channel.

7 more elements

A method of transporting a mist of a liquid carried by a first gas into an environment comprising:

providing a mist generator for generating a mist of a liquid within the first gas;
providing a mist channel comprising an inlet for receiving an output of the mist generator and an outlet;
and
providing a blower pack around the outlet of the mist channel for generating a flow of a second gas which is combined with a flow of mist from the outlet of the mist channel;
wherein
the blower pack provides for increased projection of the mist into the environment.
