Humidifiers add water to the air either by boiling the water and creating steam that is absorbed in the air, or through the release of very fine strands of moisture by the vibration of the crystals at a specific frequency which breaks the water molecules and releases them (ultrasound) or by passing air through a wetted so that air takes water through the wetted area through which air is blown.

This type of humidifier is usually cheaper to buy than other humidifiers. The units incorporate a humidistat may cost a little more, but have the advantage of not more than one room dehumidification.
A disadvantage of using a steam humidifier is that they consume more electricity than an ultrasonic humidifier or evaporation.
The maintenance of a steam humidifier involve the elimination of occasional lime that builds up inside the unit. When not using steam humidifiers water should be emptied, cleaned and dried to prevent standing water inside the humidifier.
Steam humidifiers, as Carel as commonly used in office buildings to reduce static and make the more comfortable air to breathe, usually installed in the ductwork of air conditioning, although more expensive than the other two types have the advantage because exceptional control and hygiene reasons
Ultrasonic humidifiers
This is the most common type of humidifier you will find in the street. An ultrasonic humidifier has a water tank on top of a small metal plate coated with small crystals when there is a level of 48 volts passes through the crystals begin to vibrate, the intense vibrations caused by plaque rapidly oscillating water atomized into a mist in the air.
The advantages bought a ultrasonic humidifier is that besides being economical to buy also consume little power to operate. The steam produced is very fine, almost cloudy. Humidifiers ultrasonics are very quiet.
The main disadvantage of using an ultrasonic humidifier is the dust that is introduced to a room. Any particulate matter that is present in water will float in the air along with water. When the water evaporates, the particles settle as dust in the room.
However, high quality ultrasonic humidifiers using demineralization cartridges that absorb minerals from the water before being converted into a mist. This is very effective provided when the cartridges are replaced in line with the manufacturer's instructions.
If the humidifier does not include a demineralization cartridge, then you should using demineralized water, and that over time the mineral content of the water layer ultrasonic crystals, which they work.
It is very important to clean your humidifier when used regularly to prevent buildup of bacteria.
By Evaporative humidifiers
Evaporative humidifiers water into the air allowing moisture to be simply evaporated. This consumes very little energy and hygiene is a way of humidification and aerosols are not being released. Any particles in the water will remain in the humidifier after that the water evaporates so no dust is released into the room.
This type of system is also very quiet, and can be used in a quiet room or similar.
Evaporative humidifiers use of porous media filter that absorbs water and air is forced through the filter by a fan as the air flows through the wet filter media collects water and becomes optimum moisture. No more can humidify the room with this method, because the humidity is about 50% RH air water accumulates in fewer and fewer.
This is the best type of humidifier to be used to protect works of art, furniture and instruments music, this is often buy such museums to protect their exhibitions.
The main drawback with this type of unit is that the filters must be cleaned or replaced periodically. The air in a home can be heavily contaminated with dust, skin, hair and other subjects. These particles will be collected by the humidifier and remain in the filter as air passes through. This has the advantage of cleaning the air, but means that the filters need to be replaced occasionally may develop an odor and become unsanitary conditions.
Cleaning should be carried out regularly to maintain hygienic operation, but the frequency depends on the quality air in the room.
