ABSTRACT:
A vaporizer cooperating with a recirculating water system humidifies air before it enters the carburetor of an automobile engine. The vaporizer is generally a hollow tube which includes an evaporating pad that distributes liquid such as water. As air moves through the vaporizer, vapor moves into the air stream. Excess liquid is collected at the bottom of a larger portion of the vaporizer, whose air outlet is elevated from that bottom to prevent liquid phase water from leaving the vaporizer. The recirculating system drains collected excess water.
