Definitions

  • Evaporators especially humidifiers, storage containers and housings therefor
  • This invention relates to an evaporator, a storage container and a housing therefor, which are used for air humidification in connection with respirators, in particular CPAP devices.
  • a vaporizer according to the preamble of claim 1, a storage container according to the preamble of claim 11 and a housing according to the preamble of claim 12 are known from DE 200 10 553 U1 and DE 199 36499 A1.
  • the ventilators also include so-called CPAP devices, which are used to treat apneas (breathing stops) during sleep.
  • CPAP continuous positive airway pressure
  • a CPAP device generates a positive overpressure of up to about 30 mbar using a compressor or a turbine and applies this preferably via an air humidifier, a hose and a nasal mask in the patient's airways. This overpressure is intended to ensure that the upper respiratory tract remains fully open throughout the night and thus no apneas occur (DE 198 49 571 A1).
  • An air humidifier used in conjunction with the CPAP device prevents the patient's mucous membranes from drying out.
  • the moistening device comprises a refill unit formed from a tub element and a pot part coupled to it, which can be removed from an installation housing.
  • the tub element and the pot part are tightly connected to each other.
  • a liquid storage space is formed, which contains the major part of the water supply provided for humidifying the breathing gas.
  • a separate moistening area is formed in the tub element arranged below the pot part, in which only a small part of the water supply is contained. The height of the water in the tub element is kept at a predetermined level via a metering device.
  • the base area of the tub element is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, for example metal.
  • DE 200 10 553 U1 describes a similar humidifier for respirators as described in DE 199 36 499 A1.
  • air is also conducted over the surface of a heatable water reservoir.
  • a water container is used, which essentially consists of one part.
  • the water tank has a filling opening which is closed with a cap during operation.
  • DE 298 19 950 U1 describes in connection with a heatable humidifier a phase control and a control circuit for regulating the power supplied to a heating element.
  • the heating element heats a water bath.
  • G-94 09 231.1 and DE 298 17 685 U1 deal with lids for storage vessels for the water supply of humidifiers for CPAP devices.
  • the lids close the storage container in a pressure-tight manner, so that breathing air can be blown through the upper region of the storage vessel, which is not filled with water, and the lid can easily be opened for refilling water.
  • the ventilation humidifier for artificial ventilation known from DE 198 08 590 A1 has a peristaltic pump as a metering device and an electrically heated evaporator.
  • the peristaltic pump pumps water out of one commercially available water bags in the required amount so that a predetermined relative breathing gas humidity is reached at a given breathing gas temperature.
  • the evaporator provides water at a temperature above 134 ° C, which, when mixed with the breathing gas to be humidified, heats the breathing gas to the specified breathing gas temperature.
  • the high heating temperature results from the desire to kill any germs that may be present in the water.
  • the advantage of producing the storage container from one part is that it reduces the cost of production and simplifies the storage of spare parts. Furthermore, the storage container can be placed as part in a dishwasher for cleaning. This means that it is not necessary to disassemble and reassemble the storage container, or to put and remove several parts from the dishwasher.
  • the advantage of a gas-tight connection between the storage container and the housing is that the humidifier does not have to be operated at ambient pressure. Rather, the evaporator can be regarded as a pressure-tight line piece between the gas inlet and gas outlet and used accordingly.
  • An advantage of the mechanical fastening of the storage container to the housing by means of a half thread or a bayonet lock is that in this way the storage container can be removed from the housing simply and quickly.
  • An advantage of a thin liquid coating is that less power is required to heat it, because the housing of the storage container is not also heated. Furthermore, the thickness of the liquid coating is largely independent of the filling level in the storage container, so that the gas flow through the evaporator is also independent of the filling level in the storage container.
  • the advantage of using a PTC thermistor for the heater is that with constant heater voltage, the heater temperature fluctuates less than the ambient temperature. On the other hand, the heater temperature fluctuates less at a constant ambient temperature and fluctuating heater voltage than it would fluctuate if a temperature-independent resistor was used for the heater. The use of a PTC thermistor therefore has a temperature-stabilizing effect.
  • the advantage of using a lower part with an electrical connection is that when the storage container is installed in the housing, the housing is removed from the lower part and thus the power supply to the heater is interrupted and the housing is thus de-energized.
  • a gas barrier advantageously ensures that a significant gas flow is created over the liquid coating, that is to say the gas sweeps close to the liquid and is effectively enriched with liquid molecules.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of an evaporator according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of a second embodiment of an evaporator according to the invention.
  • Fig. 3 is a front view thereof.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of an evaporator according to the invention.
  • This consists of a preferably transparent or matt, translucent storage container 2, a housing 3 and a lower part 4.
  • An at least translucent storage container enables simple, visual fill level control.
  • the storage container has essentially a bottle shape. It is detachably fastened with its opening downwards in the housing, preferably via a half thread or a bayonet catch 6.
  • the housing 3 has a gas inlet 12 and a gas outlet 13.
  • a liquid coating 15 forms on the bottom of the housing because liquid 14 emerges from the storage bottle in a defined manner.
  • the dimensions of the housing and the storage bottle are selected such that the opening of the storage container closes essentially tightly with the bottom of the housing. “Substantially tight” is to be understood to mean that just enough liquid emerges from the storage container 2 that a liquid layer of a desired thickness forms on the bottom of the housing 3.
  • a notch 8 can be provided at the opening of the bottle or a passage 28 (see FIG. 2) in the bottom of the housing 3.
  • the distance between the housing bottom and the opening of the storage container is, with the exception of the point at which the notch 8 or the Passage 28 is selected such that no liquid emerges taking into account the surface tension of the liquid 14.
  • the height of the liquid coating 15 is determined exclusively by the shape and in particular the depth of the notch 8 or the shape and height of the passage 28.
  • the distance between the opening of the storage container and the bottom of the housing, with the exception of the point at which the notch 8 is located is preferably less than 0.5 mm.
  • the reservoir is bottle-shaped.
  • the lower, funnel-shaped part of the storage container in FIG. 1 has the effect of a gas barrier 26 because it ensures that the air passes close to the liquid coating 15.
  • the liquid coating 15 forms next to the opening of the storage container, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • a preferably annular heating element 16 is attached below the liquid coating.
  • the evaporation of liquid from the liquid coating creates evaporative cooling, so that the liquid coating would cool down and less liquid evaporates per unit of time.
  • the vapor pressure of the liquid can rise above that Liquid coating can be increased by heating the liquid coating.
  • the heating element 16 serves this purpose. It is preferably made of a PTC thermistor with a strong temperature coefficient. As mentioned above, this has a temperature-stabilizing effect in the event of ambient temperature and voltage fluctuations on the heating element.
  • the housing is detachably connected to the lower part 4 by means of lugs 10 and locks 11.
  • a connection 18 to the power supply (220 or 110 V) is provided on the lower part.
  • a plug connection is preferably used for the electrical connection of the heating element 16 in the housing 3 to the electrical connection 18 in the lower part 4.
  • the plug connections used in kettles can be used.
  • One embodiment of such a plug connection comprises plugs connected to the heating element 16 and sockets 17 arranged in the lower part.
  • the sockets 17 are partially covered by insulating material, so that they cannot be touched with bare hands - not even children's hands.
  • the plugs are designed as a cylindrical plug and one or two hollow cylindrical plugs arranged coaxially thereto.
  • the housing can be removed from the lower part by releasing the locks 11.
  • the heating element 16 is advantageously separated from the power supply.
  • the liquid-filled storage container is held with the opening upwards.
  • the housing is then mechanically connected to the storage container upside down by half a thread or bayonet catch 6.
  • the housing with the storage container is then turned over, so that the housing is at the bottom and the storage container with the opening points downward, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • When turning over only a small amount of liquid emerges from the storage container into the housing, because the opening of the storage container closes largely tightly with the housing base.
  • Seal 5 is provided so that the reservoir 2 and the housing 4 form a largely gas-tight unit. In this way, the outflow of gas from the housing into the environment can be largely prevented, even if there is a slight excess pressure of 10 to 200 mbar in relation to the ambient pressure in the housing.
  • the diameter of the opening of the supply lter should not be less than about '1/3 of the reservoir abdomen. This is the part of the storage container which is located above the seal 5 in FIG. 1. With these dimensions, the storage container can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a further embodiment of an evaporator according to the invention.
  • This evaporator also consists of a preferably transparent storage container 2, a housing 3 and a lower part 4.
  • the storage container 2 is preferably mechanically connected to the housing again by means of a half thread or a bayonet lock.
  • a seal 24 is provided in order to connect the storage container and the housing to one another in a largely pressure-tight manner.
  • the reservoir is cup-shaped.
  • the large opening makes cleaning the storage container very easy.
  • Web 27 is provided for extensive sealing of the storage container with respect to the housing.
  • Passage 28 is provided for liquid coating 15 of a certain thickness.
  • the distance between the web and the storage container should therefore be less than 0.5 mm for the reasons mentioned above
  • the web and reservoir are essentially liquid-tight. As shown in Fig. 2, the liquid coating 15 forms next to the opening of the
  • Storage container namely below the gas inlet and gas outlet 12 and 13 respectively.
  • a heating element 29 is arranged below the liquid coating.
  • a low voltage heating element is used, which with a
  • Embodiment is that they are also connected to the electrical system of a car or truck can be operated.
  • a transformer can be provided for operation on the electricity network (110 or 220 V).
  • a gas barrier 26 is provided between gas inlet 12 and gas outlet 13 so that the gas sweeps along near the liquid surface.
  • the storage container is assembled in the housing in a similar manner to that described above in connection with FIG. 1. First, the housing is removed from the lower part, inverted, placed on the storage container that is open at the top, and tightened relative to it. Storage container and housing together are turned over and fastened on the lower part.
  • the electrical connection between the electrical connection 22 and the heater 29 can be made exactly as shown in FIG. 1. However, since low voltage is used, the contacts in the lower part do not have to be insulated against contact. Therefore, contact pins 23 can be used to contact the heating element 29.
  • a heater designed for mains voltage 110 or 230 V
  • the sockets described above that are protected against contact must be used for the electrical connection between the housing and the lower part.
  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 can use a low-voltage heater with an operating voltage between 5 and 24 V.
  • contact spring pins 23 can also be used to contact the heater.
  • one or more notches can be provided in the storage container 2 instead of the web 27 with passage 28.
  • a web 27 can be provided to seal the reservoir against the bottom of the housing.
  • this web can also have a passage 28.
  • a passage can also be provided together with a notch after the reservoir is opened.
  • the gas inlet 12 is preferably connected to respirators, for example a CPAP, BiPAP or multilevel device.
  • the gas outlet is connected to a patient's mask.
  • the embodiments of this evaporator according to the invention can also be integrated into a CPAP, BiPAP or multilevel device.
  • the turbine and controller of the CPAP device are preferably attached to the lower part 4.
  • the gas inlet is designed such that when the housing 3 is attached to the lower part 4, the gas inlet of the humidifier faces a gas outlet of the turbine of the CPAP device and is largely airtight with it.
  • the heating elements 16 and 29 can be attached in the lower part 4.
  • the part of the housing 3 below the thin liquid coating 15 is designed to be a good heat conductor. This can be done by making this housing part particularly thin. As an alternative or in addition to this, this area can also be produced from a material which is a good heat conductor, such as metal.
  • the advantage of the latter embodiments is that electrical contacts between the lower part 4 and the housing 3 become superfluous. It can prove disadvantageous that after the housing 3 has been removed, the heating element 16 or 29 is openly accessible and can cause burns when touched. It goes without saying that the gap between the lower part 4 and the housing 3 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is made as narrow as possible in these embodiments.
