Höyrystymiskosteuttimet, also known as evaporative humidifiers, are a type of humidifier that add moisture to the air through a natural process called evaporation. These devices typically consist of a water reservoir, a fan, and a wick or filter. The fan draws dry air into the unit, where it passes over a saturated wick or filter. As the air moves through the damp material, water evaporates into the air, increasing its humidity.

The evaporated moisture is then released back into the room. This method of humidification is generally considered more energy-efficient than steam humidifiers because it does not require heating the water. Evaporative humidifiers are also less prone to releasing mineral dust into the air, a common issue with ultrasonic humidifiers, as the minerals are typically trapped in the wick or filter.

Regular maintenance is important for evaporative humidifiers to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria in the water reservoir and wick. This usually involves cleaning the tank and replacing the wick or filter periodically according to the manufacturer's instructions. They are a popular choice for improving indoor air quality and alleviating problems associated with dry air, such as dry skin, irritated sinuses, and static electricity.
