Function and Control
Humidity
Fluctuation by
Temperature
Settings
At HUMID HEATING operation, as room temperature rises, relative humidity is temporarily
lowered. This is because as room temperature rises, relative humidity is lowered even if the
moisture content is the same.
e.g.) The rise in the room temperature from 15°C to 25°C results in the fall in humidity from
40%RH to about 22%RH.
As humidifying operation starts concurrently with heating, humidity rises gradually as shown in
the figure below.
Some room conditions (room size, ventilation frequency, number of residents, etc.) and set
temperature (higher temperature) may result in unsatisfactory humidity.
