CENTRAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
This installation is used when the HVAC equipment conditions the whole home or the area where dehumidification is needed.
Using an Aprilaire Central Dehumidifier in this application, in conjuction with the HVAC system, is the optimum solution for total,
year-round humidity control.
This installation is typically in attic or basement locations within the home. As shown in Figure 3 below, air is pulled from the
return duct, dehumidifed and returned to the supply duct.
