How Humidifier works????

 

As we all know, humidifiers remove the dryness from the air, but how??? This is the most common question. The answer to this question is somewhat tricky because there are many types of humidifier in the market. Humidifiers basically add humidity in the air. Most common humidifier adds humidity through the steam. We call it “Steam Humidifier.” This is the simplest humidifier in which water boils and then steam makes the air humid. But this is not an efficient way to humid the air because you cannot control the quantity and also you cannot distribute the steam manually. The second one is Evaporative Humidifiers which is the efficient and most humidifier with the machine and wet filter which is responsible to spread the humidity throughout the room. Third is Ultrasonic Humidifier which is also an efficient way of producing humidity. Ultrasonic humidifiers vibrate the disc at ultrasonic frequency for the creation of the water droplets.
