A device that can be used for dispersing a liquid is disclose. The device comprises a container, a capillary device, and a housing. The container has an open end that is connected to the capillary device and comprises a liquid. The capillary device comprises a substantially tubular member having one end secured to the open end of the container and the opposing end extended therethrough a substantially tubular capillary structure, which is coaxially aligned with the substantially tubular member. The capillary structure is in fluid communication with the liquid in the container. The housing comprises a first end having an opening attached thereon the container, a low voltage supplier attached to one wall, a high voltage converter attached to another wall, a voltage contact and a counter electrode, optionally a heat and/or lighting source, a wicking material, and further optionally electronics for voltage regulation. Also disclosed is a process for dispensing liquid using the device.

A method of supplying pre-heated outside make-up quality air to a home having a fireplace and furnace system, comprising the steps of: generating heat of combustion in said fireplace as combustion products, conducting said combustion products into an exhaust duct, passing said combustion products in said exhaust duct through a remote heat exchanger means and then to an outside area, passing outside make-up quality air through said heat exchanger means to remove heat from said combustion products and provide preheated quality air, conducting said preheated quality air into a return or supply duct system of said furnace, and supplying said preheated quality air to rooms in said home. 2. The method as set forth in claim 1 which further includes the step of removing room air mixed with quality air from the home by burning room air.3. The method as set forth in claim 1 which further includes the steps of pumping outside fresh quality air into said home at a point remote from said fireplace, and neutralizing the pressure in said home at a second remote point. 4. The method as set forth in claim 1 which further includes conducting outside unheated fresh air into a combustion chamber of the fireplace during the step of conducting said combustion products into an exhaust duct.5. The method as set forth in claim 4 which comprises connecting said exhaust duct to said remote heat exchanger means.6. The method as set forth in claim 4 wherein said exhaust duct comprises a coaxial exhaust duct directing combustion products to an outside source.7. The method as set forth in claim 6 which includes a heat exchanger in said fireplace and an exhaust duct is connected to said heat fireplace exchanger and to said return or supply duct system of said furnace.8. A method of supplying preheated outside make-up quality air to a home having both a fireplace and a furnace system comprising the steps of: providing a remote heat exchanger outside of said fireplace and said furnace system, connecting an outside air intake duct through said remote heat exchanger and into a return supply duct of said furnace system, connecting an exhaust duct from said fireplace through said remote heat exchanger and to the outside atmosphere, whereby said outside air in said outside air intake duct is preheated in said remote heat exchanger before entering the return supply duct of said furnace system. 9. The method as set forth in claim 8 wherein said exhaust duct comprises an exhaust gas duct connected to the combustion chamber of said fireplace for conducting hot exhaust gas from said fireplace through said remote heat exchanger.10. The method as set forth in claim 9 wherein said exhaust duct comprises a hot air duct connected to the fireplace heat exchanger for conducting heated room air into the return supply duct of said furnace system.11. The method as set forth in claim 8 which further comprises providing control means for regulating the amount of outside fresh air being introduced into the return duct of said furnace system.
