Use a module when you are building equipment. Use a complete humidifier when you need a ready-to-install machine.
Modules give more flexibility for tank and cabinet design, but the integrator must handle water level, airflow and control.
A complete humidifier is easier for direct factory installation when the airflow, enclosure and controls are already included.
Choose based on who will design the tank, how much space is available and who will maintain the system.
Project note: For OEM projects, modules are usually preferred. For direct workshop use, a complete humidifier may be faster.
