TrueSTEAM Humidification Reference Guide
Guidelines are presented for determining how to choose the best TrueSTEAM for your application, taking into consideration best practices recommended by industry experts, and other factors that influence indoor humidity loads.
The Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) set guidelines for determining humidification capacity requirements. The recommendation is based on the square footage and type of home construction, and assuming typical conditions. It is important to realize many homes will have humidification requirements that differ from the guidelines depending on how the circumstances differ from standard conditions.
AHRI has also established a standard method of determining capacity ratings, which provides a means for comparing products, including those from different manufacturers. Capacity is determined by the output of the device as if it operated 24 hours per day. Honeywell TrueSTEAM capacity ratings are determined by testing in accordance with the AHRI guidelines.
Using run time averages per TrueSTEAM model and house size, you can determine the humidifier that is best suited for meeting 35% RH in the home. For example, you can see that for smaller homes, there is little difference in the run times required between units. Thus, choosing a smaller size TrueSTEAM which draws fewer amps to achieve 35%RH in about the same time as the larger model is more economical. As the home gets larger, the run time increases for the smaller size TrueSTEAM, which then makes it logical to upsize to the larger model.
A centrally ducted humidifier like TrueSTEAM requires air movement via the HVAC system fan to push humidity into the living space. The system fan is controlled through its G-terminal. TrueSTEAM can be wired to monitor when the system G terminal is energized – indicating there is air flow in the duct. If airflow is not present and humidity is demanded by the control, TrueSTEAM can be configured to energize the HVAC system G when humidity is needed.
