DUCTING TO HVAC SYSTEM – CLOSET INSTALLATIONS
The dehumidifier in these applications is typically installed under or next to the HVAC equipment. In both types of installation, the dehumidifier
inlet is not ducted and pulls from the living space through a grille or louvers in the HVAC closet door. The Preferred Installation is to locate
the dehumidifier under the HVAC equipment and supply dehumidified air through the alternate outlet on the top of the unit directly to the HVAC
return. NOTE: The dehumidifier must be wired to activate the HVAC fan during dehumidifier operation in this installation. In the Alternate
Installation the dehumidifier is located next to the HVAC equipment and ducted to the HVAC supply duct using the outlet on the top of the unit.
