The most common type of humidifier used in the home is a wick, or evaporative humidifier. ... Once the humidifier is turned on, the water travels from the reservoir to the filter. The reservoir, basically a large bucket or container, is filled with water prior to use. The filter absorbs the water from the reservoir as the fan blows on the filter. As the water evaporates, it transforms from a liquid state to a gaseous state called water vapor. The resulting water vapor moisturizes the air in the room. 1, record 1, English, - evaporative%20humidifier

Humidificateur à pulvérisation monté sur gaine de soufflage. L'alimentation en eau est automatique, grâce à un robinet à flotteur, sauf pour les appareils de très petite puissance qui peuvent être à remplissage manuel. Ces humidificateurs peuvent être alimentés en eau de ville non traités mais les sels minéraux dissous dans l'eau en plus ou moins grande quantité après évaporation des gouttelettes d’eau forment une fine poussière blanche se déposant dans les locaux traités. Ces sels minéraux peuvent être un inconvénient dans certains cas et cette solution peut alors être prohibée(cas des salles d’ordinateurs, par exemple). 1, record 2, French, - humidificateur%20%C3%A0%20pulv%C3%A9risation
