Abstract:
A humidifying system 30 containing:at least one compressed-air sprayer 1 with a compressed-air input 2, a water input 30 and an outlet valve 4 for compressed air and water,one or more compressed-air pressure regulators 39 for regulating the pressure of the compressed air to be inputted and/or water pressure regulators 35 for regulating the pressure of the water to be inputted,at least one humidity sensor (46, 47, 48 and 49) for sensing the humidity of the humidified air or the air that is to be humidified,one or more controls 50 for controlling the compressed-air sprayer 1, the controls 50 being actively connected to at least one of the group consisting of the compressed-air pressure regulators 39 and the water pressure regulators 35 and to at least one humidity sensor 46, 47, 48 and 49, the controls being set to regulate (depending on the humidity picked up by the humidity sensors) the difference between the water pressure and the pressure of the compressed air by the appropriate controlling of the compressed-air pressure regulators and/or water pressure regulators (39 and 35 resp.) in such a way that the size of the drops sprayed by the compressed-air sprayer 1 varies depending on the humidity picked up by the humidity sensors 46, 47, 48 and 49 (of which there are at least one).
