SPECIFICATION
600 Series
Whole-House Evaporative Humidifier
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The AprilAire Model 600 Evaporative Humidifier operates in conjunction with
the heating, ventilating, air conditioning equipment (HVAC) blower. When the
AprilAire Humidifier Control calls for humidity and the blower motor is
operating, water flows to the distribution tray located at the top of the
humidifier. The water is uniformly distributed across the width of the tray
and through a scientifically designed system of outlets, it flows by gravity
over the Water Panel® evaporator, the heart of the humidifier. Dry, hot air is
moved through the moisture-laden Water Panel® evaporator where natural
evaporation takes place.
The now-humidified air carrying moisture in vapor form (nature’s own way) is
circulated throughout the home.
