How does an ultrasonic humidifier work?
Ultrasonic Sensor Unlike in a standard humidifier, which uses a wick/fan system to distribute moisture into a space, an ultrasonic humidifier uses an ultrasonic sensor to form water droplets which are then dispersed into the air in a cool (or sometimes warm) haze. Transducer The ultrasonic humidifier makes use of a transducer, which is a system that transfers an energy signal between one form and another. In the case of the humidifier, it uses its power source (electrical energy) to form ultrasonic energy, sound waves (above 20,000 Hz) that are not perceptible to the human ear. Metal Diaphragm The action of a vibrating metal diaphragm (again, above 20,000 Hz, so the process is silent) causes the formation of water droplets, which are expelled by the system. Health concerns Ultrasonic humidifiers may disperse, along with water droplets, any bacteria present in the water out into the air. To overcome this, many humidifiers make use of antibacterial methods, such as, for instance, ultravi
A humidifier is an utmost need in every winter. It is basically a home appliance used to raise the level of air moisture inside. At low humidity, one may suffer from epidermal dryness and the temperature will seem to drop. Wooden furniture may also need repair as the dryness will make them shrink and crack. With the help of humidifiers, one can counteract the effect of dry air. Installing them in homes, make the entire place comfortable and relaxed. Todays market is flooded with various types, sizes and models of humidifiers. Evaporation type, vaporizer, impeller and ultrasonic humidifiers are some of the most common humidifying appliances. Based on the fact, that each and everything has both the plus and minus points, same is the case with all above listed appliance types. However, the article discusses about the working and features of the ultrasonic humidifiers. Ultrasonic sensor, transducer and a metal diaphragm constitutes an ultrasonic humidifier. Other than these three basic par
