Introduction
The benets of a properly humidied environment (35-50% Relative Humidity) are
many� They include both personal comfort as well as the preservation of furniture,
draperies, carpets, wooden oors and cabinets, paintings, pianos, etc. Your home can be more comfortable at a lower temperature (i.e.: 68° F) at 30-40% Relative Humidity (RH) than at 71° to 72° F without controlled humidity. Since every degree of temperature setback represents about 3% of your heating costs, this can pos­sibly represent a signicant annual savings. During the heating season, cold air in­ltrates the home and must be heated. When heated, this air dries out and greatly increases its capacity to hold more moisture. By using a humidier, a source of wa-
ter is provided to satisfy this increased moisture holding capability, rather than hav­ing it drawn from our body surface and the surrounding furnishings in the home�

Capacity Selection
The table below is for reference only and is based upon the following:
Inside temperature of 70°F / 35% relative humidity Outside temperature of 20°F / 70% relative humidity
8 foot ceiling height Internal moisture gain of one pound per hour
Furnace on-time 70%
The chart uses Standard ASHRAE denitions:
A “Tight Home” is assumed to be well insulated with vapor barriers, tight storm
windows and doors, and a dampered replace. Air exchange rate of .5 changes
per hour�
An “Average Home” is insulated and has a dampered re place, but there are
no vapor barriers, storm doors, or storm windows� Air exchange rate of 1�0 changes per hour� A “Loose Home” is generally one constructed before 1930, has little or no in­sulation, no storm doors, storm windows, weather stripping or vapor barriers,
and often no effective dampering of replaces. Air exchange rate is as high as
1�5 changes per hour

Output Capacity
Increasing or decreasing the nozzle size or supply water pressure can vary the
output capacity of this humidier. It is recommended that the humidier NOT be
used with water pressures below 40 PSI, otherwise, the mist may be adversely affected�
This humidier comes standard with a .75 GPH (oil) nozzle with a hollow spray pat­tern� Alternatively sized nozzles may be purchased from your local HVAC supply
house or plumbing supply outlet. If the water pressure uctuates or is excessive, a pressure regulator should be installed in the water line supplying the humidier.
The following chart illustrates the capacity of different nozzles at varying water pressures� The capacity listed on the nozzle is for #2 fuel oil at 100 psi and should
not be considered relative to the water capacity of this humidier.

NOTE: Due to the operation cycle of the furnace and humidier, it may take from 2-5 days to reach the proper humidication level.

When selecting a location for the installa-
tion of your humidier, certain conditions
must be met for its proper operation� The
recommended location for this humidier
is on the warm air supply plenum, ap­proximately 3 inches downstream of the furnace discharge� The air temperature
must be at least 120ºF in order for the
temperature switch to operate properly� In narrow plenum/duct arrangements,
the humidier should be mounted on the
narrow side of the duct� Select a loca­tion so that the spray from the nozzle will not impinge on the furnace fan, control switches, air conditioning or heat coils, or walls of the duct�
The humidier should be mounted so
that the furnace air carries the mist away
from the humidier temperature switch. The direction of airow is indicated inside of the humidier housing and on the rat­ing label on the side of the humidier.
DO NOT install the humidier where
freezing conditions could occur or where
accidental overow could cause water
damage to the home or property�
DO NOT install the humidier where the temperature will exceed 180°F. Exces-
sive heat may cause softening and dis­tortion of the plastic housing�The instal-
lation of a water lter may reduce the
potential clogging of the nozzle and so­lenoid valve in hard water applications�
