Abstract
A steam humidifier provided by the present invention has a tank having a reservoir section and a cover removably and sealingly secured thereto. The tank contains water during a humidifying operation in which the humidifier humidifies an indoor environment. The cover has a heating element mounted thereon and extending therefrom into the reservoir section and a steam outlet assembly mounted thereon and extending therethrough into the tank. The heating element evaporates at least a portion of the water during the humidifying operation into steam output through the steam outlet assembly to humidify the indoor environment.
Claims27
A steam humidifier comprising:
- a tank having a reservoir section and a cover removably and sealingly secured thereto, said tank containing water during a humidifying operation in which the humidifier humidifies an indoor environment, said cover having a heating element mounted thereon and extending therefrom into said reservoir section and a steam outlet assembly mounted thereon and extending therethrough into said tank, said heating element evaporating at least a portion of said water during said humidifying operation into steam output through said steam outlet assembly to humidify said indoor environment;
- and
- a water inlet assembly mounted on said cover, said water inlet assembly being connectable to a water source and configured for passage of said water from said water source therethrough into said tank.
A steam humidifier comprising a tank having a reservoir section and a cover removably and sealingly secured thereto, said tank containing water during a humidifying operation in which the humidifier humidifies an indoor environment, said cover having a heating element mounted thereon and extending therefrom into said reservoir section and a steam outlet assembly mounted thereon and extending therethrough into said tank, said heating element evaporating at least a portion of said water during said humidifying operation into steam output through said steam outlet assembly to humidify said indoor environment, a motorized rotor blade assembly having at least one rotor blade extending into said tank and a motor mounted on said cover, each rotor blade being connected to said motor and rotatable thereby, said rotor blade, when rotated by said motor, cutting solid particles in said water into smaller particles passable with said water through a siphon drain assembly mounted on said cover.
A steam humidifier comprising a tank having a reservoir section and a cover removably and sealingly secured thereto, said tank containing water during a humidifying operation in which the humidifier humidifies an indoor environment, said cover having a heating element mounted thereon and extending therefrom into said reservoir section and a steam outlet assembly mounted thereon and extending therethrough into said tank, said heating element evaporating at least a portion of said water during said humidifying operation into steam output through said steam outlet assembly to humidify said indoor environment, a housing within which said tank is housed, said cover being secured to said housing, wherein said housing comprises a rear mounting wall, a separating wall connected to the rear mounting wall and extending outwardly therefrom, and a removable bottom pan removably connected to at least one of said rear mounting wall and said separating wall, said removable bottom pan extending beneath said reservoir section when connected to said cover.
