A downdraft boiler has a ceramic burner plate overlying a horizontal-tube heat exchanger at least the upper tubes of which each have an internal turbulator preventing premature vaporization of the water traversing the heat exchanger. The turbulator can consist of a twisted metal strip whose edges lie along helices.

A fill-in-place humidifier in which the tank can be rotated 180.degree. between a filling position and an operating position. In the filling position a cap can be removed from the tank for filling and can be replaced when filling is complete, the cap bearing a valve which automatically opens when the tank is rotated into its operative position.
