No, this can damage the machine.
Especially in winter, when the air in our homes and our workspaces can be extra dry. A humidifier simply makes the air more humid. A person who feels dry mucous membranes has asthma, allergies, or a respiratory infection can use a humidifier. Many also experience that their mucous membranes are not as dry when they add moisture to the indoor air during the winter. If the humidity is below 40-50% RH for a long period.
When the relative humidity is below 50% RH, it is recommended to use a humidifier. Normally the relative humidity is 15-30% during late autumn and winter, so it is mainly during autumn and winter that a humidifier should be used.
In the winter, the air in our homes, and our workplace, becomes extra dry. During this season, when the outdoor air is cold, the indoor air cannot carry as much moisture. When the air is ventilated, and heated to the indoor temperature we want, the relative humidity becomes even lower. The dry air can cause itchy, dry eyes, itchy hands which can sometimes cause stinging dry cracks or cracked cuticles. But also dry sinuses and mucous membranes, which for some can lead to discomfort in the nose and throat that makes us more susceptible to viruses and bacteria. A humidifier raises the humidity in the room and reduces the inconvenience caused by dry air.
An ultrasonic humidifier has a diaphragm that breaks down the water molecules so that visible steam is blown out with the fan. Then the fog is usually at room temperature, as neither cold nor heat is added. A hybrid is usually a combination of hot and cold steam. It has a heating element in which heats the water so that the steam that comes out feels more tropical and warm.
The filter binds the lime in the water so that lime does not follow out and settles as white dust on surrounding surfaces.
Wood’s Vienna HSW100 is a unit that produces invisible cold water vapour to increase the moisture level in the air (humidity). The device has a water level sensor to make sure you know when there is enough water for the device to work. The dry air passes through the wet filter and moisture spreads in the room. Minerals and other contaminants will get stuck in the filter. Clean and invisible steam is released throughout the room employing a powerful but silent fan. The cold fog spreads easily in the air. Wood’s humidifiers have incredibly low energy consumption in combination with a very low noise level. The Vienna HSW100 can be used all days of the year, all year round and will still not consume more than 20 kWh throughout the year. The filter is an antibacterial filter made of honeycomb paper that is both environmentally friendly and healthy.
A humidifier can be placed high on a shelf or chest of drawers, 1-2 meters up from the floor. When it is a little higher up, it is easier for the steam when it falls towards catching the moisture emitted by the humidifier. It is also easier to direct the flow converter when the machine is placed a little higher up from the floor.
Absolutely! The humidifiers from Wood’s are very quiet and energy efficient and with the moving nozzle, you can direct the steam where you want.
It is more common for a humidifier to be used for offices and public environments all year round. But dry air can also occur in private homes or apartments, so check the humidity with a hygrometer. If the humidity is low, then a humidifier can help create the right level of humidity in your indoor air.
