Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus for determining the mist concentration in a humidified air flow of a ventilating device, preferably a ventilating or air-conditioning installation. It is characterized by a plurality of moisture precipitation elements (12) having different geometrical dimensions which are arranged in the air flow (2) and are provided with a moisture sensor device (9). The invention is further directed to an air washer for humidifying an air flow in a ventilating installation.
Claims15
