What is the purpose of a humidistat?

A humidistat is a device used to control the operation of space conditioning systems such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers and humidifiers. When used with an air conditioner, for example, the humidistat cycles the unit on and off based on humidity rather than temperature as provided with a regular thermostat. A humidistat set at 70 percent relative humidity, for instance, will cycle the air conditioner on when relative humidity reaches 70 percent or above, even if the thermostat setting does not call for cooling.


What setting should a humidistat be set to?

My dehumidistat says to set the temperature to 70 degrees.

How does adding humidity to the air in a residents affect the thermostat settling?

To answer your question as it is written: It has no Effect on the setting of the thermostat. If the stat is set at 72* and you add humidity, the stat is still set at 72*. Assuming you are really asking what the reaction of the stat will be, there will be no reaction. Humidity is latent heat measured by a humidistat, a thermostat can only measure and react to changes in sensible heat.


What should the humidity be in your home in winter with the furnace set at 70 degrees?

Humidity is relative. The warmer the air the more moisture it can hold. Humidity is the percentage of maxium moisture that air can hold at a given temprature. At 70 degrees it should more than 20 and less than 50 percent.


How does a humidistat work?

An electronic humidistat works by measuring capacitance of an air gap capacitor, or the resistance of hygroscopic salt, which absorbs water from the air. When measuring humidity against a set point, a power amplifier operates a relay. In the capacitance type of sensor, the dielectric is the air in between two electrodes. The dielectric value, and therefore capacitance, will change according to the amount of water vapor contained in air. A Mechanical Humidistat uses a material which changes size as it absorbs water, such animal hair, some plastics, or cellulosics, to move a mechanical switch. For applications such as inside buildings, the temperature is stable enough that the conversion from absolute humidity to relative humidity is fairly uniform. Electronic controls can easily do temperature compensation for a wider and more accurate range of measurement.


What is the best temperature to set your air conditioner thermostat on when vacating the house for 6 months in the summer to avoid mildew?

Depends on where you live. From personal experience in a coastal environment, the main consideration is HUMIDITY rather than TEMPERATURE. Mold and mildew depend upon moisture to live and grow. Find out what the humidity level in your area is likely to be during that six-month period and set the thermostat to keep humidity below 50%. Doesn't have to be much below. Buy a decent humidistat (much like a thermometer) to indicate what your moisture level in your home is.


Should humidifier be set for lower or higher outside temp to increase humidity in house?

lower


What level is good for cigar digital hygrometer?

A humidor , along with a hygrometer , should maintain a relative humidity of 70 percent and a temperature of 70 degrees . This 70/70 rule of thumb is not set in stone but more of a guideline .


How many degrees is a chicken incubator?

Commercial incubators are set to 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit and hold a humidity level of 55% relative. Home incubators while not always as acurate should be set for no more than 101 F and keep humidity levels at a minimum 50%.


Your room temperature is 80 degrees What is the right number should you set on your humidity machine?

80 is pretty warm I would not think you need any humidity unless you are in the desert. If I was in the desert, I would want to turn on the swamp cooler.


What humidity should a incubator be when hatching chicken eggs?

At the start of incubation of chicken eggs the internal humidity in an incubator should be between 55% and 65% around day 18 that is 19 days after the eggs are set the humidity should be increased to between 70% and 80% if the area that you house the incubator has a high humidity run it dry for the first 18 days adding water to the containers on day 18 (the 19th day) - this coincides with the day you stop turning the eggs. High Humidity too soon will drown the chicks, not enough humidity in the last 3 days will make it difficult for them to hatch.
