Abstract: Mist based humidification systems are employed in numerous environments. However, such systems are typically small portable units whilst it would be beneficial to employ ultrasonic based mist humidifiers in larger environments. However, these environments introduce additional requirements such as reducing the emission/distribution of condensed water as droplets from the humidifier, allowing independent placement of the mist generator from the mist distribution element(s), and the requirement to “throw” the mist a reasonable distance into the environment rather than relying upon the circulation within the environment to achieve distribution. Embodiments of the invention address these issues whilst also supporting modular humidification systems operating at multiple capacities.
