This and the original video mentioned his floor humidifier never ran when his furnace was off. On the Aprilaire humidifier in my house, it has an option to only run if the HVAC is running, or, actually turn on the blower fan if it needs to add humidity to the air. It's not that uncommon for it to do it. Granted, it's house temperature air blowing through it, vs warm furnace air. So probably not as efficient. But it makes sense, as you want the humidity to be NN%, regardless of whether the house is being warmed or not.
@MisterHavoc3 жыл бұрын
Late as fuck to the party, but regarding alternate designs for console humidifiers: When I was little, I remember ours had a big sponge-covered "water wheel" in it that rotated slowly. I think it used a fan in the back to pull air in, then duct it up to blow through or across the sponge panels on the wheel. I think that kind of design might help a lot in regards to some of the static wick issues, like applying some gentle agitation to the water with the wheel spinning, keeping all the water in a basic giant tank with no tubes, etc for bacteria/mold to cling to, and the entire wheel being removable to clean in a slop sink or with a garden hose at the end of the season... Though the tradeoff is a little more noise (I don't remember the one we had ever making much noise though), and the mechanical complexity of motors or belt-drives for the fan/wheel. I suppose those mechanical parts probably cost a dollar or two extra in profit per unit though, so we can't have that! Bring out the disposable wicks and their oft-musty smells! We must have more profit!

Just subscribed. Humidifiers need to be analysed from a chemical engineering rather than electrical engineering point of view. Humidifiers are basically cooling towers & you have to do a heat balance over the whole system (i.e. including the house heating system) to get a true picture. I live in the UK & we have the opposite problem- average relative humidity throughout the year rarely drops below 70%, so condensation is the problem in Winter. Traditional construction is in brick, blockwork & stone, wood soon rots. No need for a/c in Summer though- just open a window...

EDIT : Just saw the part where he talks about incandescent bulb. Yeah I agree, but another positive of LED bulb is that you can put higher equivalent wattage in sockets. Like putting a 60W equivalent (like 10 real watt) in a 40W socket.

I know you said you find enjoyment from chatting with a bartender after closing or a teacher after class, but for some people, moments like those feel strange and even disturbing because when we are so used to experiencing something a certain way and then experience it with something drastically changed about it, it kinda feels like we've stepped out of reality for a moment and for some people that can be a pretty uncomfortable feeling.

12:00 That's backwards. In the US we used to build houses intentionally drafty to prevent moisture buildup in or on the walls. Modern high efficiency houses aim to be as air sealed as possible with very good insulation and moisture control in the walls. When the house is sealed you can control the quality of air coming into the house by bringing it through filters. Heat exchangers, heating or cooling the incoming air as desired with the outgoing air help with energy efficiency. Having sealed houses also helps with pest control. Basically cheap houses are built drafty with random air coming in wherever. Premium houses aim to be sealed with a integrated system to control air quality within the home.

To expand on the "belt type" concept a little: The ancient console humidifier I had in the '80s didn't have a belt, as such, but I could see how the system it used could have been set up to have one instead of the rigid structure mine had. This is going to be a little wordy, since I'm trying to describe something that would better be shown in a picture, but basically, the water reservoir had a vertical rotating drum in it, kinda like a miniature Ferris wheel--the one in mine was about, say, 80% of the machine's height in diameter (it was about the same size as your modern woodgrain unit) by maybe eight inches wide. The edge of the drum was covered with an absorbent plastic wool material, sort of like a softer Scotchbrite. It would rotate slowly through the water at the bottom, and then the rotation would bring the wet part in front of a fan mounted at the top; this would cause the water caught in the absorbent material to evaporate, and the rotation of the drum would then carry the dried-out part back down into the water. So, same basic principle as the console unit you have, but it got the water from the reservoir up to the fan by mechanical means. The capillary-action wick thing in modern units seems like it's basically the replacement for that arrangement, probably dreamed up in order to eliminate a moving part. On the plus side, the surface of the drum being constantly dried out again by the fan meant that no given patch of it ever stayed wet long enough for anything to grow on it (as long as the machine was running), although the water reservoir did still need treatment to keep _it_ from getting manky. We had a bottle of stuff kind of like you would treat a fish tank with, which you were supposed to throw a capful of in the tank whenever you refilled it. It would run for about a day on any sane setting. On the minus side, it had that extra moving part, and eventually the mechanism to turn the drum wore out in mine, causing a shrill bad-bearing noise that made it unusable in any room where someone was trying to sleep, and really annoying anywhere else. Hence, I suspect, why they don't make them that way any more.

Then with the valve open, would release steam eventually and humidify the room,,, well one fine day with the water off and all valves closed to the house thr pressure / temp valve's spring popped off and shut the valve closed and dropping the safety release in the tank.. about 2 hours later my buddy and his brother in the room next door to the water heater get blown through the wall of their bedroom to the outdoors while they were in their beds asleep.. and his brother lost his hearing and most of the skin on his left leg and my buddy got 3rd degree burns on half of his body.. but time heals most wounds and so did the 4 milion dollat settlement they got after somehow winning when they sued the water heater manufacturer... fun story......,

Had an impeller humidifier when I was a kid (30+ yrs ago). It was interesting to pull apart and examine as a kid. The motor unit sat atop the tank and had a rotating spindle (Hollow) that would draw water up the internal faces of the spindle to vents at the top of the spindle located at the junction of a flat disc where the rotational energy would expel the water and draw it outward along the face of the disc to a ring of plastic combs which when hit at velocity with water would cause a fine mist, this would build up in the top portion of the tank until the force pushed it out of a rotating directional horn located on the top front of the tank where it would be expelled as a soft cool white cloud-like mist that would quickly fall to the floor where you had to keep a towel or bathmat on the floor to prevent slipping and falling. This was a very simple, as far as I know low cost per hour to run as the motor was well geared yo reduce the amount of energy required to create the correct amount of rotational energy required to produce a mist. This was also very safe as I did pull the top off while it was running many times as a child and would sit the motor unit upside down and allow my GI Joe’s to get flung off its carousel of death like nature and still I was never injured.

That’s like saying you heat your house in the middle of the winter by boiling a pot of water. Dedicated evaporative cooling systems (cooling tower) will evaporate 2 gallons of water per HOUR for 15,000 BTU. Evaporative humidifier will evaporate ~1 gallon of water per DAY. It’s not even a comparison. To add further perspective, average homes have ~70,000-90,000 BTU furnaces in areas that require a humidifier. Evaporating 1 gallon of water over the course of a day is about 315 BTU per hour. Your furnace will need to run ~ .3% longer to account for an evaporative humidifier. Opening an exterior door to the house one time will make a larger difference.

@@cynic5581 I appreciate your post, but we can do better together. Let's see how much energy we're really talking about: > That’s like saying you heat your house in the middle of the winter by boiling a pot of water. No, it's not. It's saying that all heat sources / heat sinks add up. But let's calculate and find out how much of a difference it makes. > Dedicated evaporative cooling systems (cooling tower) will evaporate 2 gallons of water per HOUR for 15,000 BTU. Heat of vaporization for two gallons of water is 19300 kJ, or 18293 BTU (wolframalpha.com) So this cooling tower would be 18293 BTU per hour. This number is for cooling a whole house. > Evaporative humidifier will evaporate ~1 gallon of water per DAY. It's important to note that the rate of evaporation varies depending on the humidity of the air. While the air is dry, evaporation will pull out more energy until reaching an equilibrium, if it is able to catch up to the humidity setpoint. The humidity in the house is also in equilibrium, via a gradient, with the dry air outside and lowered by the removal of humidity from central heating, causing the humidifier to work to catch up. A humidifier's output is also more than double your value. I'm finding these online (airconditionerlab.com/best-evaporative-humidifier/): (Room) 2.6 gal / 24 hour, vornado evap3 4 gal / 24 hour, vornado evap40 (Multiroom) 12 gal / 24 hour, aircare ma1201 (Whole House) 17 gal / 24 hour, aprilaire 600 These are maximum rates: the humidifier might not be working this hard. But we can't assume that evaporative humidifiers will evaporate only 1 gallon per day, when I'm finding max outputs minimum 2.6 times that, and maximum 17 times that. > To add further perspective, average homes have ~70,000-90,000 BTU furnaces in areas that require a humidifier. This is a tricky one, since these are BTU/hour output ratings, but the furnace is not always on. There's also a variety of fuels and efficiencies, but for simplicity I went with a natural gas furnace at 82 percent efficiency, which costs $14.02 to output 1 million BTU. This gives a price per BTU of 0.00001402 cents. (homeguides.sfgate.com/much-cost-run-gas-furnace-62819.html) Evaporating 1 gallon of water over the course of a day is about 315 BTU per hour. While whole-house humidifiers will be much more than this, taking the 1 room humidifier at 2.6 gallons over 24 hours, that comes out to 25000 kJ, or 23695 btu, which is 987.3 BTU/hour. For comparison, this is about 19% of the output of a 1500 Watt space heater running at full heat. Using 18 cents per kilowatt hour (higher than New York State, lower than New Hampshire) that gives 94 cents, or about a dollar a day. Using the price per btu of the furnace, it would be 33 cents per day. But less responsive than the space heater. > Your furnace will need to run ~ .3% longer to account for an evaporative humidifier. Opening an exterior door to the house one time will make a larger difference. Not sure how to estimate opening the door. By my calculations, the evaporative room cooler would cost $1 a day if counteracted with an electric heater in the same room. Less if you wear a sweater and let the furnace take care of it :)

Correction: few houses are well-sealed. It takes quite a bit of deliberate effort to air-seal a structure (I know, I'm doing it) and most homes are pretty leaky. And when you do thoroughly seal a house, you install an Energy/Heat Recovery Ventilator, which brings fresh air in from outside, passes it through a heat exchanger to absorb the energy in the outgoing air, and pushes it into the house. Tightly air-sealing a house is very important, as it allows one to determine where fresh air comes in, which means we can clean it up and heat/cool it with the outgoing air, instead of letting random dirty hot/cold air come into random places. Why aren't more houses tightly sealed? It costs more, of course! Aside from the cost of the HRV/ERV, it takes a fair amount of labor, and some materials, to seal every little gap on the envelope. On my new shop I'm building, I sealed every seam in the plywood sheathing, I sealed the area where the sheathing and framing meet the foundation, I used gaskets and sealant on every wall penetration, I taped every seam on the rigid exterior foam insulation, and I was careful about not tearing the Tyvek over that. I'll seal the drywall where it meets at the corners once I get that far. All of this would cost more if I was paying someone to do it.
@garretthaney91343 жыл бұрын
He's more right than wrong in the video. Few older houses are well sealed.. Newer construction is a different story. 2 part foam has been cheap and easy to apply during construction for a long time, and before that homes were dense packing cellulose or blown fiberglass behind vapor barriers. Energy standards were driving homes in cold climates to tighten up back in the 90s. Air exchange was only ever tackled in places that burn dino farts - and that was only a "don't blow up the house" concern not an air quality concern. HRVs/ERVs arent yet common (outside of high end construction) because they're fairly new to the US and not mandated - where as high R value is and has been for a while. That said: I sprayed the envelope of my mid 50s home with ~14 inches of foam and did pour in foam into the wall cavities. We have gas here, so I also needed to replace the HVAC and hot water heater with fresh air breathers. ERVs are great for air quality, but if you have range hoods or exhaust fans in general prepare to have a relay driven damper to allow makeup air in - granted HRV/ERVs may have come a long way but when I went shopping I couldn't find a unit that would keep positive pressure when you start actively exhausting. A gas dryer is always going to use space air for combustion, so you need to make sure your not going to create enough negative pressure in the space and blow up your house - which again requires either air makeup or putting your laundry room in its own envelope that isn't airtighted. ...and just wait for the sticker shock when you go to replace the filters in your air exchanger. Why do all this? Because happy wife is happy life, and my wife wanted to walk around the house barefoot in shorts in February.

I installed a (real) rainscreen over the foam too, so everything can dry out if/when water gets past the siding.
