What is a piezo humidifier?
In an ultrasonic mist maker/humidifier (also called an ultrasonic atomizer), a piezo atomizer disc/transducer (ceramic humidifier) works by transposing high-frequency sound waves into mechanical energy that is transferred into a liquid, creating standing waves.
How do ultrasonic mist makers work?
Ultrasonic humidifiers make a cool fog that is great for reptiles, greenhouses, and home humidification. Mist Makers use a piezoelectric transducer for a high frequency mechanical oscillation just below the surface of the water. This vibration creates a very fine, very dry fog that is instantly evaporated into the air.
How do you turn water into fog?
How to Make a Fog Machine: Make your “fog juice” by mixing a solution of one part glycerin to three parts distilled water. The “fog” is created when the solution is heated to the point of evaporation. The process leaves an accumulation of dense vapor, which becomes cloudy when it hits room-temperature air.
Can a piezo buzzer be used as a mist maker?
I’ve come across a few articles explaining piezoelectronics and it seems that a piezo buzzer and a piezo mist maker are made up of the same materials. Is this correct? Can I go purchase some piezo buzzers and use them to create fog? Does anyone have any literature on this?
Is there a DC driver for piezo mist?
DC Driver for an Ultrasonic Piezo Mist Generator. Not open for further replies. This is my first post on this forum and after some searching I am still in need of some help. I am trying to build a driver for this: http://www.steminc.com/piezo/Piezo_PDF/BR_SMUTD25F1660R_SA.pdf which is an ultrasonic piezo ceramic transducer for generating mist.
How does an ultrasonic mist maker work in a humidifier?
In an ultrasonic mist maker/humidifier (also called an ultrasonic atomizer), a piezo atomizer disc/transducer (ceramic humidifier) works by transposing high-frequency sound waves into mechanical energy that is transferred into a liquid, creating standing waves.
Can a PWM drive a piezo mist generator?
What I’d like to do ideally is to drive the piezos with a PWM driver, the drawback to that is the company that donated the piezos said that the PWM would have to provide the correct frequency (1.6 Mhz I think), voltage and current.
