An atomizing nozzle assembly, comprises a body; a nozzle head secured to the body, the nozzle including a chamber and an orifice for permitting water to flow out; a stem disposed within the chamber, the stem including a tip adapted to slide into or out of the orifice, thereby closing or opening the orifice, respectively; a piston secured to a rear end of the stem, the piston being slidably disposed within a cavity in the body; a spring disposed behind the piston adapted to bias the piston forward such that the tip is disposed within the orifice to close off the orifice when liquid to the nozzle assembly is cut off; a passageway within the body communicating with the chamber and the orifice, the passageway for connecting to a liquid supply to be atomized; and the tip including a resilient tubing adapted to provide a seal against the orifice when the tip is the closed position.

[ We claim:] [1.] A humidifier system, comprising:a) first and second nozzles for being disposed within an air duct;b) a controller for controlling the operation of said nozzles;c) each nozzle being connected to a water line;d) first and second solenoid valves connected to respective said first and second nozzles, said first and second solenoid valves being operably connected to said controller;e) a pump operably connected to said water line for pressurizing the water in said nozzles, said pump being operably connected to said controller for modulating said pump to control the pressure in said water line;f) a humidity sensor for being disposed within the area to be humidified, said humidity sensor being operably connected to said controller such that when the room humidity falls below a preselected humidity set point, said first and second solenoids are operated in stages to provide water to said first and second nozzles and said pump is modulated to control pressure in said water line until the room humidity rises, at which time said first and second solenoid valves are turned off in stages.
