About Your Skuttle Humidier
Principle of Operation
Your Skuttle Humidier uses the same method of evaporation you
observe in nature after a summer shower. Mother Nature’s technique is
simple: warm air passes over a thin layer of water spread over a broad
surface, causing the water to evaporate and the humidity level to rise.
Your humidier creates the same natural response with an evaporator
pad, which dispenses water evenly in front of a warm air stream.
You’ll notice that the evaporator pad has many holes and con necting
strands. These signicantly increase the area from which water can
evaporate. This warm air evaporative process, intensied by the warm
air from your furnace, is what makes your humidier perform efciently.
HowYourHumidierWorks
The system is controlled by a humidistat that monitors the relative
humidity (RH) in your home and activates or deactivates the humi dier
accordingly. Water evaporated from the humidier leaves behind all
its impurities (e.g., calcium, iron, lime, bacteria, etc.), thus creating
a puried vapor that doesn’t pollute your indoor air. As a result, your
home will be freer from these contaminants, and your family will almost
certainly be healthier and more comfortable.
Models 2000, 2001. When your home’s air is dryer than the selected
level of humidity, the humidistat activates the low-voltage solenoid in
your humidier, allowing water to ow across the unit’s media. Warm,
dry air is then forced through the humidier cabinet by the furnace
blower. As the warm air evaporates the water, the resulting moist
(or humidied) air is circulated throughout your home by the heating
system.
