Fans with a humidifier: device, model overview and tips for choosing

The stuffiness and dry air in the room is very annoying to a person. The harmful effect of heat affects the heart and blood vessels: the pulse quickens, the pressure drops, and the whole body begins to work in an extreme mode. Against the background of all this, a person even has a mental disorder.

Modern climatic systems help to escape from "three streams of sweat". Primitive in principle, relatively cheap, but fans are still relevant among them.

Today these simple devices - fans - have been improved. Manufacturers have supplemented them with air humidifiers. Now a fan with this function creates not only a driven air flow, but also saturates it with moisture. The resulting air environment from the operation of a fan with a humidifier is similar to the effect obtained from an air conditioner.

How all this is achieved can be learned from the device and the principle of operation of the fan with humidification. So far, only the floor type has undergone structural changes.

This is how it works now modern floor fan:

• tubular support with height adjustment;
• electric motor;
• impeller protected by a mesh;
• block with mode switches;
• stand-tank for water;
• evaporation chamber;
• water heating system;
• ultrasonic emitter.

Some models, mostly expensive and with air ionization, are complemented by:

• built-in timer;
• control panel;
• a hygrometer that controls the level of humidity;
• aromatization unit with replaceable cartridges.

When the device is connected to the mains, the supply voltage is applied to the motor. He and the impeller, fixed on his shaft, begin to rotate. Depending on the included speed, an air flow of a certain strength is formed.

At the same time, the water in the tank is heated. The heating process and ultrasonic action lead to the evaporation of water. The generated steam through the tubes inside the support rises to the blades, where it is sprayed from the air stream created by them. This is how the humidification system works.

Ionization is achieved in a separate unit. It includes a current transformer and a filter. As an emitter, electrodes are used, from the work of which free electrons are formed. They fall under the flow of air and form an ionic wind, which saturates the air with oxygen.

As you can see from the above, today the fan has turned from a simple device into a real climate control unit. Its domestic use for the home has now been expanded to an industrial scale. Humidified fans can be found in greenhouses, conservatories, healthcare facilities, manufacturing facilities, catering and entertainment venues. But the main sphere of its application remains everyday life.

There are a lot of outdoor versions of fans with a humidifier.

Famous brands are:

• Ves Electrik;
• Ricci;
• Vitta;
• Sea Breeze;
• AEG;
• Vitek;
• Zanussi.

The price range of these models starts from 3 thousand rubles, which makes them affordable for a wide range of consumers.

Automatic regulation of all parameters, including:

• speed mode;
• timer on and off;
• heating intensity;
• auto-rotate;
• backlight, ionization and remote switching options.

When buying, it is important to consider such an indicator as the power of the device. It is measured in watts, and the serviced area will depend on it. For 1 sq. m accounts for 6-7 W of the device's useful power. Therefore, for example, for a bedroom with an area of ​​14 sq. m, a fan with a power of 100-120 W is suitable. The fan in the hall is usually chosen from the limit of 150 watts.

1. Impeller diameter. The moment is important. The radius of the fan will depend on it. The larger the diameter, the larger the area covered by the air flow.
2. The volume of the water tank. The frequency of adding liquid will depend on its capacity. It is naturally better for a busy person to purchase a model with a large reservoir so that its volume is sufficient for the entire hot season.
3. Tilt and angle of rotation. These values ​​refer to the "head" of the instrument. The higher the numbers, the better. These indicators, as well as the diameter of the impeller, affect the covered area of ​​the blowing.
4. Noisy device. Measured in decibels. Values ​​that fall within the limits of up to 30 dB are suitable. Anything above this value will have to be put up with.
5. Performance. The achieved level of comfort will depend on it. Incorrectly selected performance will lead to the fact that the fan will not cope with one of the main functions - humidification. You don't need to calculate anything, you just need to take the model with the maximum performance factor if possible. The productivity must be at least 5 thousand cubic meters per hour.

Additional options that you may find useful are remote control, backlight and self-timer. The remote control will create convenience in switching operating modes. The backlight will help you not to drop or find your device at night. The automatic timer, preprogrammed for the operating mode, will not distract the control. At a given time, he will turn on or off the device, and he will do it with the set parameters of speed, steam intensity.

One of the questions that usually arises in the mind of a buyer who decides to purchase a floor fan concerns the need for a humidification function. Indeed, the conventional model will cost less. But the benefits of a humidified fan prove otherwise.

The advantages of humidified fans are convincing.

1. Thanks to cooling and simultaneous humidification creates a comfortable microclimate.
2. Easy operation. Unlike an air conditioner, which does about the same, expensive installation and subsequent maintenance (refueling, repairs) are not required.
3. Financial availability. The actual moment when it is not possible to purchase an expensive climate control unit.
4. Gradual effect on temperature. The risks of catching a cold from sudden changes are minimal.

The picture of using a fan with humidification is rosy. However, we must not forget about the disadvantages.

They also found their place in such an unusual device.

1. Noisiness. Manufacturers have not yet been able to get rid of it at all. Long-term operation of the device bothers with its rustling sound of the wind.
2. They require a certain amount of space. The floor version for confined spaces turns out to be cumbersome. In this regard, they are superior to air conditioners, which are installed under the ceiling and do not interfere with the movement of people.

Despite the disadvantages, the number and weight of the benefits wins. A cheap alternative to an air conditioner in the form of a fan with a humidifying system works effectively and saves millions of people from the heat. A primitive fan in a modified form is already becoming a sales leader and competes with many types of climate systems, and competition, as you know, does not arise from scratch.
