OPERATION
How Your Humidifier Works
Your Honeywell humidifier uses the principle that vapor (evaporated water) is created when warm air blows over
a water-soaked area. As the vapor circulates, the relative humidity rises.
Your humidity control monitors the relative humidity and activates the humidifier accordingly. The humidifier
has a water supply that dispenses water evenly over a humidifier pad. The warm dry air, from the furnace, passes
over the humidifier pad and picks up the moist air to circulate it throughout your home.
Humidified air feels warmer and more comfortable so you may be able to lower your thermostat heating
setpoint, which saves money on your heating fuel bills. The end result is that your humidifier gives you a
comfortable environment that is also energy efficient.
