Humidifier for heating stoves, especially Swedish stoves, with annular container for surrounding a stovepipe

Abstract

(Main claim) Humidifier for heating stoves, in particular Swedish stoves, consisting of a water-fillable container, characterized in that the container is ring-shaped and has a central opening for partially enclosing a stove pipe.

Description

1. Designation of the utility model: Humidifier for heating stoves, in particular Swedish stoves, with annular container for enclosing a stovepipe. 2. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a humidifier for heating stoves, in particular for so-called Swedish stoves with stovepipe, for improving the humidity in indoor spaces during the heating season. 3. State of the art

[0002] The use of wood-burning stoves, especially Swedish stoves, often leads to a significant drying of the room air. To improve humidity, water containers are frequently placed on or near the stove.

[0003] However, common humidifiers of this type usually have a small capacity of less than one liter and are only heated from one side, usually from below by the oven surface. This limits the evaporation rate and results in only limited humidification of the room air. 4. Object of the invention

[0004] The invention is therefore based on the objective of providing an air humidifier that: • can hold a significantly larger volume of water, • is heated efficiently and evenly, • enables improved and more even evaporation, • is specifically suitable for use with a stovepipe of a Swedish stove. 5. Solution to the task

[0005] The problem is solved by a humidifier with the features of claim 1.

[0006] The humidifier is designed as a ring-shaped stainless steel container that partially encloses a stovepipe. This design allows the container to be heated both from above and through the stovepipe running inside, resulting in particularly efficient water evaporation. 6. Description of the embodiment

[0007] The humidifier consists of a ring-shaped stainless steel container with the following features: • Outer diameter: 30 cm - 35 cm • Height: 7 cm - 10 cm • Material thickness: 2 mm • Inner opening with a diameter of 17 cm - 20 cm

[0008] The inner opening is open on one side, allowing the humidifier to be positioned laterally around the stovepipe of a Swedish stove.

[0009] The container has a capacity of at least 2 to over 4 liters, resulting in a significantly longer evaporation time without refilling compared to known solutions with a volume of approximately 1 liter.

[0010] The ring-shaped arrangement around the stovepipe makes the humidifier: • from the upper surface of the oven as well as • from the heat of the stovepipe inside Heated simultaneously.

[0011] This leads to a more even heating of the water and thus to improved evaporation performance, which stabilizes the humidity in indoor spaces during the heating season.

[0012] The humidifier is preferably made of stainless steel, which ensures high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and a long service life. 7. Advantages of the invention

[0013] The invention offers in particular the following advantages: • Significantly larger water volume than known humidifiers • even heating through oven and flue pipe • more efficient evaporation • Long operating time without refilling • Easy installation on the stovepipe • Long service life thanks to stainless steel construction • No electricity costs
