Abstract
A humidifier for producing humidified air, particularly for use with a continuous positive air pressure device. The humidifier has an air inlet and outlet. An elongate passageway extending between the air inlet and the air outlet. The passageway is adapted to be partially filled with water so that air passing along the passageway becomes humidified as it passes over the water from the air inlet to the air outlet.
