Abstract
An air humidifier has an electric fan unit arranged in a housing for delivering a through-flow of air between feed-air and discharge-air openings in the housing; at least one filter device for the through-flow of air; and a device for releasing liquid to the through-flow of air. A first housing component accommodates the fan unit with filter strips and feed-air and discharge-air openings. A second housing component is a vessel for storing liquid. The two housing components form autonomous structural units which can be fixed to and detached from one another. It is possible for the first housing component to be utilized as a separate unit independently of the second housing component.

An air humidifier having an electric fan unit arranged in a housing for delivering a through-flow of air between feed-air and discharge-air openings in the housing, at least one filter device for the through-flow of air and a device for releasing liquid to the through-flow of air, characterized by a first housing component, which accommodates the fan unit with filter strips and feed-air and discharge-air openings, and by a second housing component as a vessel for storing liquid, the two housing components forming autonomous structural units which can be fixed to and detached from one another, and it being possible for the first housing component to be utilized as a separate unit independently of the second housing component,
- wherein the first housing component, on the base side, has passage openings, which are controlled by pivotable flaps, for a branched-off part of the through-flow of air which can be guided into and out of the second housing component.
An air humidifier comprising:
- a housing including
- a first housing component having intake and exhaust openings, and
- a second housing component as a vessel for storing a liquid, the first and second housing components forming autonomous structural units that can be fixed to and detached from one another;
- an electric fan unit in the housing and delivering a through-flow of air between the intake and discharge openings in the housing;
- at least one filter device that filters the through-flow of air;
- and
- a device that releases liquid to the through-flow of air,
- wherein the first housing component is usable as a separate unit independently of the second housing component, and
- wherein the first housing component has passage openings on a base side, which are controlled by pivotable flaps, for a branched-off part of the through-flow of air which can be guided into and out of the second housing component.
