Default Re: I have a theory!

I don't have one of these, so feel free to take my comments with a pinch (or bucket) of salt.

I don't think changing the volume will make as much difference as you think. The humidifier duty cycle depends on the amount of water vapour entering the enclosure, not the volume inside.

The first place I would look is the floor. If it's a concrete floor I would cover it with heavy polythene sheet. Concrete (and brick) is porous enough to allow a lot of water through.

Next look at the joints. Make sure they're doubled over and taped/welded securely.

The final step is to try and reduce the surface area since the total amount of water vapour passing _through_ the walls depends on the surface area.

Just my thoughts,

Keith.
