    摘要: Over-enthalpy conditions when using a respiratory and/or surgical humidifier system can be prevented. A heating element power in an inspiratory conduit can be limited based at least in part on one or more parameters of the gases flow, and/or on an ambient temperature. The limit on the heating element power in the inspiratory conduit can be achieved using a processor and/or protection circuit(s) located outside the processor. For example, the system can use the processor to determine and/or apply the limit as a level of protection and use the protection circuit(s) as another level of protection.
