About Your Skuttle Humidier
Principle of Operation
Your Skuttle Humidier 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 humidier 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 connecting
strands. These signicantly increase the area from which water can
evaporate. This warm air evaporative process, intensied by the warm
air from your furnace, is what makes your humidier perform efciently.
How You Humidie Woks
The system is controlled by a humidistat that monitors the relative
humidity (RH) in your home and activates or deactivates the humidier
accordingly. Water evaporated from the humidier leaves behind all
its impurities (e.g., calcium, iron, lime, bacteria, etc.), thus creating
a puried 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, 2100 and 2101. When your home’s air is dryer
than the selected level of humidity, the humidistat activates the low-
voltage solenoid in your humidier, allowing water to ow across the
unit’s media. Warm, dry air is then forced through the humidier cabinet
by the furnace blower. As the warm air evaporates the water, the
resulting moist (or humidied) air is circulated throughout your home by
the heating system.
