S., Cadamuro, C. A. F., Mariano, A. B., Venter, G. S., Vargas, J. V. C., Active and electronically controlled heater and humidifier for hospital gases for mechanical ventilation, National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), Brazil, BR 10 2025 023936 1, deposited on Nov 3, 2025.\n<\/p>\n <h3 class=\"gect-info-subtitle\">Abstract<\/h3>\n<p class=\"gect-publication-item\">\nThe invention refers to an active and electronically controlled system for heating and humidifying hospital gases used in mechanical ventilation, invasive or non-invasive, intended for the hospital medical devices sector. The system comprises two internal chambers: a lower chamber that functions as a water reservoir and, by means of an electronically regulated pump, the water is sprayed onto a heated resistance located in the upper chamber, generating steam. The water that does not evaporate returns to the reservoir in the lower chamber, allowing continuous recirculation. In the same upper chamber, heating and humidification occur controlled by the electrical resistance. Temperature and humidity sensors positioned at the inlet and outlet of the upper chamber allow real-time monitoring and fine adjustments of the target parameters. The control of the actuators occurs through electronic modulation, such as PWM (Pulse-width modulation) or equivalent method, ensuring precision, stability of parameters and clinical reliability. Among the differentiating features of the invention are autonomy for defining target values, fine adjustments, and continuous monitoring. It is primarily applied as complementary hospital equipment to mechanical ventilators and may be integrated into these devices in the future for use in clinical settings.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Galeria das Imagens -->\n<div class=\"gect-images-container\">\n  <div class=\"gect-image-wrapper\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/demec.ufpr.br\/gect\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/09\/BIOENGINEERING01-2.png\" alt=\"Sensor setup and control system\">\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"gect-image-wrapper\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/demec.ufpr.br\/gect\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/09\/BIOENGINEERING02.jpg\" alt=\"System test with medical monitor\">\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- Links dos V\u00eddeos no Final -->\n<div class=\"gect-videos-links\">\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/servidor.demec.ufpr.br\/laboratorios\/lft\/gect\/pesquisas\/17-Dec-2025-UFPR-Test-Mech-Ventilator.mp4\" class=\"gect-video-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n    Video 1: System test at UFPR (2025).\n  <\/a>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/servidor.demec.ufpr.br\/laboratorios\/lft\/gect\/pesquisas\/17-Dec-2025-UFPR-Hospital-Test-Mech-Ventilator.mp4\" class=\"gect-video-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n    Video 2: System test at UFPR Hospital of Clinics (2025).\n  <\/a>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GECT Organogram ENERGY AND THERMAL SCIENCES GROUP \u2013 GECT Group Leader: Prof. Jos\u00e9 Viriato Coelho Vargas, PhD (vargasjvcv@gmail.com) BIOENGINEERING RECENT JOURNAL PUBLICATIONS (2020+) Kava, V.
