They should add a little sticker that certifies that the humidifier supports water conservation, but in the sense of energy conservation or momentum conservation.

    I’m not an expert on thermodynamics, but we do have a humidifier.

    My laypersons understanding is that it works by booking water to steam and kinda hoping some of the steam is absorbed by the air to become humidity, rather than condensing to water vapour as it cools.

    It tries to maximise the humidity by having this internal chamber to mix steam with air and catch condensation but of course some steam escapes.

    That I’d to say, I think it’s possible for some humidifiers to produce more humidity with less water given that inefficient humidifiers produce more steam as a waste product.
