Aprilaire 1700 Dehumidifier User Manual


 
6
This installation is used to
dehumidify a whole house and
also a separate unconditioned
space like an unfinished
basement or an area where
circulation of air from that
location throughout the house
is undesirable. Four dampers
are installed.
In whole house mode
(Figure 6), whenever the
HVAC blower turns on, air is
pulled from the return duct,
dehumidified, and returned to
the HVAC system downstream
of the cooling coil in the main
supply duct.
In localized mode (Figure 7)
the four-damper configuration
cuts out the HVAC ducting and
opens the ducting to the
unconditioned space, pulling
and returning air from this area
alone. This keeps the living
space and unconditioned
spaces separate.
