Discriminating humidification system

An apparatus for converting a liquid into a refined mist, said apparatus comprising:

• a nozzle defining a nozzle aperture for emitting noble liquid;
• a first baffle located to be contacted by liquid from the nozzle aperture and including, at least, a deflector surface defining a contact plane;
• and
• a second baffle including, at least, a deflector surface defining a contact plane,
• wherein said contact plane of said deflector surface of said first baffle and said contact plane of said deflector surface of said second baffle each form baffle contact angles with the chamber centerline which are both either acute or obtuse angles.

An apparatus for converting a liquid into a refined mist, said apparatus comprising:

• a nozzle defining a nozzle aperture for emitting nozzle liquid;
• a first baffle located to be contacted by liquid form the nozzle aperture and including, at least, a deflector surface defining a contact plane;
• and
• a second baffle including, at least, a deflector surface defining a contact plane,
• wherein one of said contact plane of said deflector surface of said first baffle and said contact plane of said deflector surface of said second baffle forms an acute angle with the chamber centerline, and the other an obtuse angle.

A droplet discrimination apparatus for refining mist from a mist nozzle, said apparatus comprising:

• a base portion for connection to a mist nozzle;
• a sleeve portion defining an air inlet and an air outlet and at least partially defining a mist chamber between the air inlet and said air outlet;
• and
• a first baffle connected to said sleeve portion and located at one end of the mist chamber and a second baffle connected to said sleeve portion and located within the mist chamber.

An apparatus for creating a discriminated mist, said apparatus comprising:

• a structure including an inner surface defining a mist chamber having a first end and a second end, wherein said inner surface further defines a release aperture located toward said second end;
• a mist means for converting a liquid into a mist, wherein said mist means includes, at least, a mist aperture disposed within said first end of said mist chamber for introducing the mist into said mist chamber, wherein the mist includes larger droplets and smaller droplets, and wherein said mist means is so constructed that a majority of the larger droplets and smaller droplets have a first directional component defined in a direction from said mist aperture toward said release aperture;
• and
• a baffle means constructed for maintaining said first directional component of a majority of the smaller droplets and collecting a portion of the larger droplets,
• whereby said apparatus functions to dissuade the larger droplets from passing through said release aperture with the smaller droplets.

An apparatus for converting a liquid into a refined mist, said apparatus comprising:

• a mist means for converting a liquid into a first mist;
• and
• a discriminator means associated with said mist means for refining the first mist into a refined mist, wherein said discriminator means defines a mist chamber for receiving the first mist and a release aperture for releasing the refined mist,and includes, at least,
• a first baffle located inside said mist chamber, and a second baffle located inside said mist chamber at a location nearer said release aperture than to said mist means.
