I have an air exchanger in my house and the thermostat units are in % relative humidity. Can someone tell me, in plain English, how and when I should adjust it?
relative humidity is supposed to be 50%. are you certain you don't have a temp setting on your THERMO-stat? put it on 50% i guess. you have a system i am not familiar with. i guess you can heat and cool air based on humidity. must be a humidifier. maybe it's evaporative cooling...hmmmm.... where do you live? just curious. BTW, there is no adjustment for a heat exchanger. an air handler should be sized for the equipment. indoor fan should be on high speed for cooling. ahhhh! nova scotia. that explains it. i'm in hot old texas and our systems, residential, are pretty simple. humidity level is usually controled by the evaporator. some folks with special needs have humidifiers built in but they arent typical. another thing to remember, in cold, cold, weather, the air can become very dry. that's why you have a setting. you can up the amount of moisture in the air while your furnace is running. see what i'm saying?
