Humidifier and vapor question
On 1/22/2014 8:11 AM, Stormin Mormon wrote:
In my three bedroom trailer, I've got a floor model humidifier. I have to feed it at least two gal of water d ay, to keep the indoor air comfortable. Maybe even more than that. From my old fire science days, I remember that water vaporizes, and increases 1800 times volume. That means I'm putting 3600 gal a day of vapor into my trailer. Some condenses on the inside of windows, but not two gal per day worth. I wonder where the rest of that vapor goes? I don't have any windows cranked open, and I'm not holding the door open all day. Makes me wonder what I can do, to reduce the air and heat loss? Johnstone sells smoke bombs that are used by HVAC guys to check for leaks. I have some somewhere and they're lot's of fun to play with. ^_^ TDD |
