A liquid evaporating apparatus includes a liquid inlet (1) to which there is connected an evaporator (2) which incorporates a gas inlet (28) and gas flow channels which are defined by vapour-permeable hydrophobic walls (23, 24, 25, 26). The apparatus may be used to moisturize air in a room, in which case the apparatus is configured to circulate air, e.g. room air, through the evaporator and to discharge vaporized liquid through the ouput side (22) of the evaporator and into the room. Alternatively, the apparatus may be used to cleanse liquid, in which case the apparatus includes a condensing chamber (3) which is connected to the output side (22) of the evaporator (2). The apparatus will also include a closed gas loop (4) which is located between the output side (22) and the input side (21) of the evaporator (2) and which incorporates a fan means (5) for transporting a vapour-gas mixture continuously to the condensing chamber (3). |
