I knew?Three points to reduce the electricity bill of the steam humidifier
Zojirushi Mahobin is a steam humidifier (EE-DC type / EE-RR type) on September 1st, which has a simple function and a simple design, but is filled with the safety design and water heater technology cultivated in the electric kettle. Released from. Along with that, we have released the advantages and disadvantages of steam humidifiers and the points of saving electricity bills, so let's introduce them.
Advantages and disadvantages of Zojirushi's steam humidifier
Zojirushi's steam humidifier, whose hygiene awareness has increased due to the Korona-ka, and the demand for it has increased sharply. Zojirushi considers the purpose of using a humidifier to "prevent dryness of the skin and throat", and in order to solve these problems, boil water to prevent the growth of germs and use heated clean steam to prevent the growth of germs in the room. We have been particular about the development of steam humidifiers that raise the humidity for many years.
Introducing the advantages and disadvantages of Zojirushi's steam humidifier. Disadvantages can be resolved and improved by making some ingenuity at the time of use.
1. Hygienic water is boiled and the room is humidified with the boiled steam, so it is hygienic.
2. Ease of maintenance By adopting the same structure as the pot, there is no filter and it is easy to clean with a fluorinated wide-mouthed container. Just open the lid and pour water like a pot.
High electricity bill and time to humidification Compared to other humidification methods such as ultrasonic type and vaporization type, the steam type has a slightly higher electricity bill. Also, since it is necessary to boil water, it takes time to humidify. However, since the steam humidifier humidifies the room with boiling steam, it has the function of raising not only the humidity but also the temperature inside the room.
Points to reduce electricity bills!
Choose the right humidification capacity for your room size
There are two types of humidifying capacity of the Zojirushi humidifier: 350 mL / h (prefabricated Western-style room 10 tatami mats) and 480 mL / h (prefabricated Western-style room 13 tatami mats). There are differences in power consumption, so it is recommended to choose the one that suits the size of the room.
In addition, since the tank capacity is secured according to the capacity, even if the size is different, the humidification time is set to the same for both. (6 hours or more for EE-RR35 / 50, 8 hours or more for EE-DC35 / 50)
Adjust the amount of water according to the time you want to humidify
There is a water level line in the tank, which shows a guideline for the humidification time. By adjusting the amount of water according to the time you want to humidify, you can save the power consumption required to boil the water.

Add lukewarm water when supplying water
By adding water with a temperature higher than normal temperature, the power consumption at the start of the water heater can be suppressed, and the time to start humidification can be shortened. It is recommended to add hot water that is about the temperature of the bath.
Proper use of humidifiers you should know
It is a humidifier used when you are concerned about the dryness of the room, but you can maximize the effect with a little effort before using it.
◎ Install in a place away from the air escape route such as ventilation fans and vents.
→ If you install it on an air escape route such as a ventilation fan or vent, air may flow outside the room, so it is recommended to install it in a remote place.
◎ Install in a place away from cold windows and doors with low temperature
→ If a humidifier is placed near a cold window, the humidity will be attracted to the window and cause condensation, making it difficult for the humidity in the room to rise.
◎ When using with an air conditioner, be careful not to hit it directly with warm air.
→ If the dry warm air from the air conditioner hits the humidifier body, the humidity sensor inside the humidifier may not work properly, resulting in excessive humidification. In the case of the company's humidifier, steam is emitted upward, so by directing the air from the air conditioner in a direction parallel to the floor, the steam can ride on the air from the air conditioner and humidify the room evenly.
