Ultrasonic home humidifier

It has long been known that overdried air creates severe discomfort and negatively affects our well-being. The most effective device for humidifying indoor air is an ultrasonic humidifier. Consider the circuit design of this device and denote the key algorithm of action.

How does

The active demand for ultrasonic type humidifiers creates a number of indisputable advantages. These are safety, work efficiency, a variety of applications, a wide choice of additional functions and an attractive design. Such devices are economical in terms of power consumption and do not create strong noise while working.

Let us highlight the main design features of this type of climate technology:

1. Inside the device there is a container for the main volume of water. At the base is a UV emitter.
2. In the reservoir for the supply of water you can find a metering valve that maintains the required level of water in the tank.
3. Another component is a fan for dispersing water that has been subjected to ultrasonic radiation.
4. Hygrostat for determination of values ​​of humidity.
5. Control panel, LCD display.
6. Some models additionally have an ionizer, air flavor, various program modes, and so on.

Principle of operation

Having understood how the humidifier is arranged, we proceed to the next important issue. This is the principle of operation of an ultrasonic humidifier:

1. The main component of the device is the radiator. It is a disk or a piezoceramic membrane with removed electrodes.
2. When alternating current is applied to the membrane, it begins to vibrate at the ultrasound frequency. When gaining the necessary power fluctuations in the water tank breaks down into tiny particles.
3. In the inner chamber above the ultrasound element, the water passes into the aerosol state and is pushed out with the help of the built-in fan.
4. Formed water mist, quickly filling the room.
5. Built-in hygrometer continuously measures the relative level of humidity. Thus, the oscillation frequency of the ultrasonic membrane for our humidifier will vary depending on the environment and the user's chosen settings.
6. When the desired level of moisture is reached, the device goes into standby mode.

The principle of operation of the ultrasonic humidifier

Understanding how an ultrasonic humidifier works is not at all difficult. Of course, this is only the main algorithm, because the models are different, in addition, there is lots of settingsmodifying functionality:

• For example, some advanced models are equipped with special sensors that are able to independently diagnose the climatic conditions in a room. After identifying the figures for humidity, the device itself selects the program that is most appropriate for you and sets the appropriate settings.
• It is also important to know how an ultrasonic humidifier-air purifier works. Usually they have a built-in filtration system, and sometimes an ionizer that enriches the air with negative oxygen ions.

Benefit or harm

To the humidifier, as well as to any household appliances, the consumer always has a number of questions and even mistrust.How does it affect health, is the UV emitter useful for a child and what should be expected after purchase? Is it better to buy a traditional, steam or ultrasonic humidifier? Perhaps you should give preference to other types of devices?

Highlight the main positive aspects of the device:

1. Spraying water and turning it into water mist.
2. Automated regulation of the level of humidity in the room.
3. Low vibration and noise during operation.
4. The presence of night mode in some models.
5. Compact, interesting design and ergonomics.
6. A wide range of features.
7. Functions of ozonization, disinfection and aromatization of air.
8. The ability to repair and replace individual parts.

But how dangerous is an ultrasonic humidifier, and is there any harm for adults and children? This question can be answered like this: yes and no. The fact is that during the operation of the humidifier on the surface of furniture and other items may appear light white bloom. It is formed as a result of the deposition of salts in the water, which then goes into a state of "fog". Salt sediment we also breathe in the lungs, but for a healthy person there is no threat. Only asthmatics, allergies and people suffering from respiratory diseases can experience a slight deterioration in health.

Humidifier affects the health only positively: sleep improves, pressure returns to normal, and immunity increases.

The blood is more actively saturated with oxygen, which means that the brain and organ systems begin to function better. Many people buy compact moisturizers, for example, for face and body.

Popular models

The most popular are the following models:

1. Ultrasonic Air Humidifier Polaris PUH Serves the area of ​​the room up to 20 square meters, has a capacity of 25 watts. Duration of work is 12 hours, the type of installation - floor. The volume of the tank with water - 3.2 l, there are special indicators of the water level. In general, the principle of operation of this budget ultrasonic humidifier from Polaris is no different from similar ones. The device is not equipped with many additional chips, and is quite inexpensive: from 1 721 to 2 428 rubles.
   
2. Ultrasonic Air Humidifier Ballu Uhb-800. This is a more complex device compared to the Polaris device. The service area is as much as 50 square meters, the power consumption reaches 120 watts.The water tank with a volume of 4 liters, there is a function of heating water and a replaceable cartridge for demineralization. In addition, this ultrasonic humidifier from the company Ballu has a number of additional functions: these are the light indication, auto power off, pasteurization, adjustment of the evaporation rate, etc. The average cost in the market of climate technology is 7,079 rubles.
   
3. Ultrasonic Air Humidifier Boneco U7135. And finally, we note a model with more advanced features than the previous ones. Firm Boneko introduced a humidifier with a service area of ​​60 square meters. m, with a capacity of 130 W and a huge water tank of 6.5 liters. Water consumption is 550 ml / h. There is a built-in hygrostat, a cartridge for demineralization, a timer and an LCD display. In addition, you can adjust the direction of moisture and its intensity. There are several modes, such as “warm steam” and “standard” cold steam. Cost: from 7,890 to 11,883 rubles.
   

Conclusion

Today it becomes obvious the need to install this equipment in the house. To the best of humidified air, it favorably affects all organ systems, reduces the risk of respiratory and infectious diseases, improves the quality of sleep and human performance during the day.By purchasing an ultrasonic humidifier, you create an exceptionally healthy climate in your home.
