Vorrichtung zur Bereitstellung warmen befeuchteten Atemgases

摘要

The device comprises an evaporator (10) which can be heated to a temperature above 100 DEG C. An evaporation chamber (52) of the evaporator communicates via a constriction (60) (stenosis) with a respiratory gas line (26). A pump (98) conveys water in portions into the evaporation chamber (52). The volume output of the pump (98) and the heating capacity of the evaporator (10) are adapted to effect prompt evaporation of the water entering the evaporation chamber (52).
