ABSTRACT:
A humidifier for a hot air furnace is disclosed which has a housing with at least one open outlet to allow steam to enter the furnace. The housing also contains a heating device, water refill pipe and water level sensors and sensor housing. The sensors are preferably flexible wire with one end being free to flex. The housing also contains a water vessel attachment area which interacts with a housing attachment area to secure a water vessel to the housing. The water vessel contains a liner which has an integral flange around the periphery of the open end to form a gasket between the water vessel and housing. The housing attachment preferably contains at least one water seal which comes in contact with a flange and prevents steam from escaping the humidifier. Handles can be provided on the vessel to allow a user to easily rotate the vessel. A second open outlet can be provided to allow steam to enter the furnace through a moist air duct. A hot dry air input duct receives hot air from the furnace, directing the hot air from the furnace to the vessel, thereby increasing air flow and humidification.
