More Information
Summary:An apparatus (100) for humidifying a gas flow stream (110) is described. The apparatus comprises a plurality of humidification chambers (114, 116) connected in a sequence to allow the gas flow stream to flow sequentially through the plurality of humidification chambers. Each humidification chamber is configured to contain a liquid (124) over which the gas flow stream can flow. At least one humidification chamber comprises a nozzle (118) that forms the gas flow stream into a gas jet (120) that impinges on a surface (122) of the liquid (124) in each humidification chamber. The humidity level of the gas increases as the gas flow stream flows sequentially through the plurality of humidification chambers.
