Soundless Humidifier: How To Get The Humidity That You Really Wanted

Pak Harry is there a proper time table to set the soundless humidifier running so that my BH is always with 85%RH or higher?

This was the latest email from one of blog reader.

Before I answered his question I wrote to him the following:

Mr H,

Before U think about getting a time table U need to know these few things:

1) The maximum number of hours U should run the humidifiers per day should not be more the 12 hours. If U run them continuously they will fail to operate due to overheating and shelf life. So think about this carefully about this issue.

2) The best approach is to use more then two units so that you can run the units alternately. For example if you deploy six units, three should be during even hours and the other three on odd hours. So at any one time three units will be running as if continuously.

3) I recommend that you use the timer properly so that the floor around the humidifier is always wet. Not with too much of water until they flooded your BH but some thin layer as if the floor was just mopped a few minutes ago.

4) Try to shut all the ventilation holes except may be two. The ventilation holes if all being opened will cause your humidity to be low. The outside air is always about 63%RH. If you allow them to enter then no matter how many humidifiers you operate it will give very little effect to the internal humidity. Use you common sense.

5) If you use exhaust fans or air suction fan, be care full. The moment they operate they will throw away your high humidity air and the outside air with 63%rh will replace the vacuum created. So think carefully when you switch those fans on????

If you follow the above I can assure U that your humidity will be always above 90%RH.

Best of luck to you

Harry
