  • Page 4: Principles Of Ultrasonic Humidification

    HUMIDIFIRST PRINCIPLES OF ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIERS Ultrasonic humidifiers vibrate a water mist into the air by using piezoelectric crystals (transducers). The transducers are mounted in a pan of water approximately 1.5 inches deep. Each transducer is approximately the size of a nickel and vibrates at approximately 1.6 megahertz, a speed so fast that the water above the crystal cannot follow the speed of...
