Abstract (en)

The device has air humidification units (25) arranged in an air flow to deliver humidification water to the air flow. The units are connected with a humidification cycle (5) including a circulating pump (7) to circulate the water in the cycle and a humidification heat exchanger (13) to heat the water below the boiling point. The humidification units have hollow porous material, which is attached on the cycle. An independent claim is also included for a method for humidifying an air flow.
