Condensation inside bathrrom vent fan
I installed a Panasonic FV11VQ3 110 CFM bathroom vent fan in a small
bathroom. Works like a champ. No steam on the mirror and within minutes (with door or window open) majority of steam is cleared. My one problem is this; I get standing water inside the fan. I wrapped the duct work and unit with insulation; still condensation turning into small pool of water. I check for leaks in the roof cap... none. I switch the duct work from the stiff flexible/expanding type to the smooth normal duct work; still get pool of water. I researched google groups and some people recommended running the fan before starting the shower to warm it up. I don't think this is the issue because I did some "condensation" tests in the middle of the afternoon and it was not cold in the attic. I will still try this though. Also another person recommended having a door slightly open or a window. I will do this as well. Would anyone have any other suggestions in case this does not work? One thing I will mention the instructions ask for 2-3 feet of horizontal pipe before going to the roof cap and I have 1 foot due to space issues. I mentioned this to some people with building experience and said this should not cause a problem. Thank in advance. |
