HVAC Industry? was created by AJ WH Ranger
Just curious is anyone in the HVAC industry? Maybe for a hospital, museum, university or anything like that?
Mostly interested in the Humidification side of it.
As my knowledge is continuing to grow with wheel horse tractors, this is one subject I am considered an expert in. And would love to help any of my wheel horse friends with any of their questions about Humidification or their humidifiers.. You could say it is my cup of tea.
Because as you know we come from all different walks of life, and I was just thinking about that and was thought to myself "Self, why don't you see if any of your wheel horse friends work on or engineer Humidification systems" . So that is what I have done.
I would be more than willing to answer any questions you have about humidification., I love that stuff!!

We love it too, keeps us warm. We run wood stoves so we use a big console humidifier. I've often thought there must be a way to put something on the wood stove to make it an all in 1 package.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

Back when we had a wood burning stove we put a big pot of water on it.....and it did help....Geno wrote: We love it too, keeps us warm. We run wood stoves so we use a big console humidifier. I've often thought there must be a way to put something on the wood stove to make it an all in 1 package.

Tried the pot on the stove method but it didn't bring the levels up enough. So for the last several years I have used the Lasko 9 gallon. Like to keep humidity around 40%.

That's nice...looks like it would do a good job.....we had one wood stove and two fireplace inserts and pots of water on all of them but I have no idea what the levels were.GT 14 wrote: Tried the pot on the stove method but it didn't bring the levels up enough.

We use one now that holds a little over 5 gallons and puts out 14 gallons per day. We can keep humidity wherever we want it. It would just be nice to not have to fill it all the time, although Sandra has filling duty during the winter.

Those work very well if you can't get something in the duct. And 40% is just about the sweet spot. I personally like the RH right around 40% as well. But my old house will not maintain 40% in the winter. I have old single pane windows and it just condenses on them. So I have to live with about 30%.
Also with a higher RH you can usually get away with decreasing your thermostat temperature saving you money on your heating bill or in Geno's case wood.
