I am considering a residential steam humidifier ( april air 800) to pump humidity into my hvac system that is in my unheated attic. Can't use an evaporative system there because of freezing risk.
This unit heats 4 bedrooms which I am hoping to retrofit and zone individually with a thermostat in each room and a mechanical damper to each room.
Manufactured explained that the 800 system humidity controller is linked to the fan/blower because a normal heat cycle may not be long enough to generate the set steam humidity level. So the humidifier can stay on with the blower until the humidity level is reached even if the heat is not firing.
Question is : What if the system is zoned and dampers are closed or not calling for heat ? Has anyone installed this type of system in an area of multiple zones and does it integrate with dampers? Do I need to keep one zone always open for the humidifier?
Thanks.
