  • Publication number: 20240003558
    Abstract: A humidifier includes a housing, a water reservoir configured to hold a quantity of water, a fan assembly configured to generate an air flow path within the humidifier, a sanitizing system, and a wick assembly. The sanitizing system is configured to generate a sanitizing gas and to transfer the sanitizing gas to the water reservoir such that at least a portion of the sanitizing gas is absorbed into the water in the water reservoir. The wick assembly is fluidly configured to receive water from the water reservoir and transfer the water into the air flow path to generate humidified air. The water received by the wick assembly includes at least a portion of the sanitizing gas absorbed into the water, wherein at least a portion of the water received by wick assembly flows back to the water reservoir.
