Cool air holds less moisture than warm air. If warm air from a heated humidifier cools while moving through CPAP hose, water will accumulate inside the hose rather than travel to the user. The condensation that occurs inside the CPAP hose is referred to as “rainout.” Insulating the CPAP hose will help maintain the moisture in the airflow all the way to the nasal membranes.
