What is the difference between an atomizer and a humidifier?

The difference between atomizer and humidifier lies in concept, principle and function.

1, concept: Humidifier is an electrical appliance used to increase indoor humidity. Humidifier is divided into ultrasonic humidifier and pure humidifier. The former radiates more than the latter. No matter what kind of humidifier is used, it is best not to put it on the bedside when using it. It is best to keep a safe distance of about 2 meters from people to reduce the harm of radiation to the human body.

The function of atomizer is mainly to treat respiratory diseases, such as cold, fever, cough, asthma, bronchitis, alveoli and chest diseases.

2. The principle is different: Atomizers generally use patented technology of energy saving and low noise to manufacture compressors, which compress the clean air filtered by antibacterial mesh cotton into powerful airflow and spray it out, impacting the liquid in the medicine cup to vaporize the medicine, and then spray it out for people's nose and mouth to inhale.

Because the drug mist particles are very small, it is easy to penetrate into the lungs and capillaries through breathing, and the amount of drugs in them is very small, which is directly absorbed by the human body in an extraordinary period and is a medical and health care product to improve health. Humidifier generally uses ultrasonic vibration to atomize water, and blows out the water mist through a fan to achieve the effect of humidifying air.

3. Function: The humidifier has no mechanical operation, and generally has its own water level protection switch, which is safe and reliable to operate; The humidifier has high atomization efficiency, the diameter of atomized particles is only one to ten microns, and the vaporization efficiency can reach100%; Humidifiers are generally equipped with the protection function of water shortage and power failure. If purified water is added, it can meet the requirements of no calcified white powder pollution.

Atomizer can diminish inflammation, relieve cough, eliminate phlegm, improve bronchospasm and make trachea more unobstructed; Atomizer can also prevent respiratory tract infection before and after chest surgery; Atomizer combined with artificial respiratory tract can intermittently atomize and inhale drugs, which can be said to have high value in medical treatment.

Extended data:

Humidifier can humidify the designated room, or connect the boiler or central air conditioning system to humidify the whole building. Humidifier industry has developed in China for nearly 20 years. After years of popularization of air quality concept, product development and market cultivation, the function and role of humidifier, a relatively unfamiliar small household appliance, has been gradually accepted by people.

Atomizer is an important part of atomization system, and its performance has great influence on determination accuracy and chemical interference. Therefore, the atomizer is required to spray stably, the droplets are fine and uniform, and the atomization efficiency is high.

Air humidifier: The humidifier used to humidify air is a kind of atomizer.

Medical atomizer: a device for treating upper respiratory diseases, belonging to medical instruments.
