introduction
Philips AVENT is dedicated to producing caring, reliable products that new
fathers and mothers really need. Products whose reliability and operating
quality bring reassurance. This Philips AVENT humidifier helps to improve
the air quality of your baby’s room by adding moisture to the air to
establish a comfortable humidity level. A correct humidity level helps to
protect your baby from irritation of the mucous membranes, dry and itchy
skin, chapped lips and a dry, sore throat. When the mucous membranes
do not function optimally, they cannot give your baby full protection from
all kinds of germs.This increases the chance of your baby catching a cold
or the flu and reduces the baby’s resistance to infection by mould and
bacteria.
Relative humidity level
People need a certain level of humidity to feel comfortable. Using a
humidifier helps you to keep indoor humidity at a comfortable level. A
humidity level between 40 and 60% is recommended. A humidity level
below 30% can be dry and uncomfortable. The hygrometer/thermometer
supplied enables you to check humidity and temperature at regular times.
The amount of water vapour in the air is usually less than is required to
saturate the air. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air
compared to the amount of water vapour the air can hold at the current
temperature.
Working principle of the humidifier
The humidifier uses an ultrasonic, high-frequency oscillator to break up
the water into tiny particles. The ventilation system blows out these water
particles (mist) into the dry air where they evaporate to ensure the
required humidity. The great advantage of the ultrasonic technique is that
it operates extremely quietly without affecting the room temperature or
steaming up windows, walls or furniture.
The humidifier holds about 2 litres of water in the tank and produces
up to 250ml of moisture per hour, depending on the room humidity and
temperature.
