A method of sealably locating a humidifier water tub in a humidifier base comprising positioning a rear surface of the humidifier water tub to abut a humidifier seal to form an air path from a flow generator outlet into an interior of the water tub, and pressing a humidifier lid of the humidifier to engage a surface of a tub lid of the humidifier water tub to form a sealed air path between an interior of the humidifier water tub and an air delivery conduit connector positioned on the humidifier lid.

An apparatus for humidifying a flow of pressurized, breathable air includes varying a first pressure of the flow of breathable gas to vary a level of thermal engagement between the conductive portion of the reservoir and the heater plate, varying a height of the variable portion varies a level of thermal engagement between the conductive portion of the reservoir and the heater plate, use of a humidifier reservoir base component with a maximum water capacity substantially equal to the predetermined maximum volume of water of the humidifier reservoir or the use of intersecting inlet and outlet axes.

The present invention is a method and apparatus for delivering an additive with a continuous positive airway pressure (“CPAP”) machine. The invention includes mixing an additive with humidifier water and providing the additive to the patient with the CPAP machine. According to certain embodiments, the additive can be an aromatic additive or a therapeutic additive.

A water reservoir for an apparatus for humidifying a flow of breathable gas includes a reservoir base including a cavity structured to hold a volume of liquid and a conductive portion provided to the base. The conductive portion is adapted to thermally engage with a heater plate to allow thermal transfer of heat from the heater plate to the volume of liquid. The conductive portion includes a thin film comprising a non-metallic material, and the thin film includes a wall thickness less than about 1 mm.

The invention relates to a temperature and humidity control device for a low-temperature and constant-temperature and humidity box and a method. The temperature and humidity control device includes a constant-temperature and humidity external control unit, a constant-temperature and humidity internal control unit and an airflow channel therebetween; a heater, an evaporator and a turbulence heat exchange excitation fan are arranged in the airflow channel; the constant-temperature and humidity internal control unit is a closed constant-temperature and humidity unit comprising a test piece door with a visual window; a turbulence humidification fan and a humidification water tank are arranged at the bottom of the constant-temperature and humidity unit; the upper cover of the humidifier water tank is a louver which can be closed; the upper part of the constant-temperature and humidity internal control unit is provided with an adjustable heat and humid exchange opening which makes the interior and exterior of the constant-temperature and humidity internal control unit are communicated controllably; and the constant-temperature and humidity internal control unit is provided with a temperature and humidity test probe and a test piece tray. The temperature and humidity control device of the invention is characterized in that the constant-temperature and humidity unit operates independently and is not directly in cross linkage with heating and cooling units; and the constant-temperature and humidity unit can be in controllable linkage with the outside so as to carry out humid elimination. According to an operation method, at first, temperature is adjusted, and then independent humidification is carried out; and if humidity is too large, the adjustable heat and humid exchange opening is opened so as to be communicated with the outside to carry out humid elimination.
