CRAWL SPACE DEHUMIDIFICATION

The Aprilaire
dehumidifier controls the humidity level in your crawl space. A powerful blower inside the dehumidifier draws air into the
®
cabinet, filters the air and removes moisture, then discharges the dry air into the crawl space. Inside the cabinet, a sealed refrigeration system
removes moisture by moving the air through a series of tubes and fins that are kept colder than the dew point of the incoming air. The dew
point is the temperature at which moisture in the air will condense, much like what occurs on the outside of a cold glass on a hot summer
day. The condensed moisture drips into the dehumidifier drain pan to a drain tube routed to the nearest floor drain or condensate pump. After
the moisture is removed, the air moves through a second coil where it is reheated before being sent back into the space. The air leaving the
dehumidifier will be warmer and drier than the air entering the dehumidifier.

I have had my E070 for a little over a year now, it has been running nonstop for about two weeks now. I cleaned the filter, but it's still running all the time and staying at 68% and it is set at 50%. I have ordered a new filter to see if that will help it. Any ideas?

Several issues could cause the Aprilaire E070 to run continuously at 68% humidity despite being set to 50% and having a clean filter:

1. Inadequate Airflow: If external static pressure is too high (above 0.4" WC), airflow may drop below optimal levels (140 CFM or less), reducing dehumidification efficiency.

2. Improper Drainage: A blocked or air-locked drain system can affect performance. Check the drain annually to ensure proper function.

3. Ambient Conditions: The unit operates best at 80°F and 60% RH. If the temperature or humidity is outside the optimal range, especially near the lower limits (40°F dew point), performance may decrease.

4. Installation Issues: Ductwork or condensate pump installation problems may affect airflow and drainage.

5. Control Settings: If using an external control like Model 76, ensure it is functioning correctly and communicating with the unit.

6. System Error: Check the on-board control for diagnostic codes (E1–E9), which indicate service issues.

If none of these apply, service by a qualified professional may be required.
