In (2), around the fan (3), a thick evaporation aid (40)
And surround the water in the tray (5) with water.
A humidifier (10) is also in practical use that sucks the air through the fan (0) and discharges it as water vapor by the suction power and exhaust power of the fan (3). The humidifier (10) shown in FIG. 7 has a heater (shown) incorporated in a tray (5), which is used to supplementarily heat water in order to help the water to evaporate. Do not let. Therefore, power consumption is small.

補助体の製造に手間が掛かる。However, the evaporation assisting body (40) is formed by bending a long strip-shaped sheet formed by laminating a non-woven fabric on a base fabric of a knitted fabric in a bellows shape, so that adjacent strip-shaped sheet pieces are closely adhered to each other. In addition, in order to keep the bellows length L constant, a spacer material that is easily welded is interposed between adjacent strip-shaped sheet pieces, and the spacer materials are heat-welded to maintain a constant shape. It takes time to manufacture the auxiliary body.
