ABSTRACT:
A humidifier comprises a conduit (20), a rotatable fan assembly (30) mounted in the conduit (20) for causing an air stream to flow through the conduit (20), and a counter-rotatable water slinger assembly (40) mounted coaxially with and downstream of the fan assembly (30) for centrifugally ejecting water into the conduit (20). A cylindrical mist-forming member (60) affixed to the fan assembly (30) for rotation therewith extends downstream therefrom so as to surround the water slinger assembly (40). Water ejected centrifugally from the water slinger assembly (40) is sheared by the mist-forming member (60) into a mist of fine water droplets, which become entrained in the air stream passing through the conduit (20).
