Types of humidifiers
There are mainly three types of humidifiers. Each one of them has a different operation; we will present you with an overview of these systems.
Bypass Humidifiers
This type of humidifier adds moisture to warm air. The air is taken from the heating air ducts in your house and passes through a water tray, which allows it to pick up humidity and distributed it in your home. Typically, this type of humidifier needs to drain the water supply. Sometimes this is not an option because of the drainage needs. You can use a drain-less system, which reuses its water.
Fan-powered Humidifiers
The main difference between a Fan-powered humidifier and a Bypass humidifier is, given that it uses a fan to distribute humidity it increases water evaporation rate. It can produce a gallon more of moisture per day when compared to a Bypass Humidifier. This type of Humidifiers are energy efficient; the fan inside it consumes the same power as a 25-watt light bulb. Since this operates with a fan, it does not require a bypass duct. This means it is a smaller installation.
Steam Humidifiers
One of the most popular options to increase and maintain your home at a proper humidity level. This system provides the purest form of humidity you can have at your home. They work by boiling water electrically to create steam, which is pushed through your ventilation system. And it keeps doing it regardless of your HVAC condition.
As you can see, several benefits and functions are depending on the humidifier you choose.
