Abstract
An assembly for diffusing gas in a humidifier comprises a base plate having a wall extending around its periphery, a diffuser sheet comprising a substantially gas impermeable membrane having a plurality of perforations and a member for directing gas to be humidified into a gas receiving chamber defined between the diffuser sheet and base plate. In a humidifier, the assembly is submerged in water and gas travels through the gas directing member, into the gas receiving chamber and outwardly through the perforations in the diffuser sheet into the water where it is humidified and exits from the humidifier.
