A humidifying apparatus has an evaporating chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet. The chamber has a bottom wall for supporting a film of water to be evaporated. A drain is associated with the bottom wall for continuously draining water from the evaporating chamber during an operational cycle. A fan is connected to the air inlet of the evaporating chamber to discharge a stream of air into the chamber and across the bottom wall. A water holding tank, having a top wall containing at least one water outlet aperture, is so located in the evaporating chamber to position the aperture adjacent the air inlet and in the flow path of the stream of air. Water supply means selectively supplies water to the holding tank when the fan is operative. The supply means provides a pressure signal, but only when supplying water to the holding tank. A valve means, associated with a water outlet from the holding tank, is in a closed position responsive to the pressure signal. In the absence of the pressure signal the valve means is opened to drain the holding tank.

An air humidifying apparatus comprising: first means defining a humidification chamber having an air inlet, and air outlet, a water outlet, a bottom wall, a first end wall and an opposite end wall, said end walls attached to and extending upwardly in spaced relationship from said bottom wall, a pair of side walls attached to and extending upwardly in spaced relationship from said bottom wall and being affixed to said end walls, and a top wall spaced from said bottom wall and attached to said side walls and said end walls, said walls defining said chamber, said air outlet and said water outlet being located adjacent the opposite end wall of said chamber, said air inlet being located in said first end wall, said water outlet being associated with said bottom wall, said bottom wall being so constructed and oriented to support and direct water present thereon toward said water outleT, fan means operatively associated with said first end wall and connected to said air inlet for discharging a stream of air into said chamber, said air inlet and said chamber being so constructed as to cause said stream of air to pass across said bottom wall and exhaust through said air outlet, second means associated with said first means and defining a holding tank for water, said second means including a top wall having at least one aperture therein, said aperture being positioned in said chamber adjacent said air inlet, said second means having a water inlet and a water outlet, said second means being positioned and oriented within said chamber and being spaced from said bottom wall of said first means so that the stream of air discharged by said fan means is split by said holding tank, thereby causing a portion of the stream of air to pass over said holding tank and causing a portion of the stream of air to pass under said holding tank, said portions of said airstream being recombined at a location downstream from said holding tank, third means for selectively supplying water to the water inlet of said second means when said fan means is operative, said third means providing a control signal only when supplying water to said second means, heater means for heating the water in said second means to evaporate water therefrom, and valve means associated with the water outlet of said second means, said valve means closing said water outlet responsive to said control signal provided by said third means and opening said water outlet in the absence of said signal provided by said third means to rapidly drain water from said holding tank and thereby entrain and remove sediment present in said holding tank after each humidification cycle.
