Passive humidifiers. Cheap and cheerful.

  • Dec 24, 2019

I have repeatedly talked about the need to use a humidifier in the winter apartment and talked about his humidifier (ammo1.livejournal.com/786718.html), But humidify the air in the room is not necessarily using expensive electric humidifier. There are also more simple and cheap solutions.


The simplest version of the free - big wet rag on the battery, or better yet a basin underneath the battery and cloth lying on the battery and partly floating in the pelvis, which will "suck" the water from the basin as drying.

Another embodiment of a plastic bottle and rag in the illustration above.

It turns out that sold various passive mass dampers for the battery. In Estonia and Latvia can buy MONSUN unit for 8 euros.


He has two paper inside the filter and it is filled with 0.8 liters of water. Due to the heat the water evaporates quickly battery. On the one battery can be hung up to three such humidifiers.

I looked in the Russian Internet shops and found that there are many different moisturizers for the battery. There's even such ceramic cats.

Humidifier DI MARTINO VT2 worth 239 rubles, and hung up the battery using the hook supplied. The volume of the tank it is very small - 0.35 L, but these humidifiers on one battery, you can hang a few.


Humidifier DI MARTINO TOP worth 499 rubles and has a volume of 1 liter. In the opinion of the owners of it vaporizes the liter for three days, so that one such humidifier is still not enough.


DI MARTINO VG1 for 379 rubles simply placed on top of the battery.


Surely, you can find other options.

In Chinese stores passive humidifiers I could not find. Perhaps bad looking.

When using a passive humidifier is important to get a hygrometer to monitor whether this is sufficient moisture.
