More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a humidifier (5000) for a respiratory pressure therapy device. The humidifier comprises a humidifier chamber (5200) comprising a housing (5202) with an air inlet (5002), an air outlet (5004) and an air flow path from the air inlet to the air outlet. A humidifier wick (5230) is positioned within the humidifier chamber, the humidifier wick being configured to retain a volume of water and shaped to substantially enclose at least a portion of the flow path. A heating element (5220) configured to heat the humidifier wick to vaporise the volume of water into the humidification chamber to add moisture to the flow of air. The humidifier wick comprises a heated region (5230H) in thermal contact with the heating element and an unheated region (5230U, 5230D) located upstream and/or downstream of the heating element and the heated region.
