A device for moistening respiratory air comprises a housing having a hollow interior and having a side wall with an evaporator insert extending through the wall and into the interior of the housing which contains a conduit for the passage of water from a storage tank of the water into the interior of the housing. A heater is located within the insert for heating the water and the excess water is collected in a water collector at the bottom of the housing after the water passes through a nozzle drain and filter. The housing is provided with inlet and outlet connections for circulating the respiratory air through the housing and for passing it through the discharge water to moisten the air and to return it to the respiratory system. |
