Abstract: A humidifier has a base unit with an engagement face that is configured to interface with a flow generator. The humidifier also has a tank configured to be removably received by the base unit and hold a volume of liquid. The tank has a side wall with an air inlet. The humidifier further has an air flow passage configured to receive an air connector of the flow generator at the engagement face of the base unit. The air flow passage is axially offset from a tank inlet. In addition, a cross-section of the airflow passage inlet and a cross-section of the tank air inlet are substantially perpendicular to a horizontal plane.

Abstract translation: 加湿器具有基本单元，其具有配置成与流量发生器相接合的接合面。 加湿器还具有构造成可移除地被基部单元接收并容纳一定体积的液体的罐。 油箱有一个带有进气口的侧壁。 加湿器还具有空气流动通道，该空气流动通道构造成在基座单元的接合面处容纳流量发生器的空气连接器。 空气流通道与罐入口轴向偏移。 此外，气流通道入口的横截面和罐空气入口的横截面基本上垂直于水平面。
