Floor mopping - When an
8'
x 10' kitchen floor is
mopped and rinsed, almost 2
y,
pounds
of
water are
released in the air.
Clothes drying - After
10
pounds
of
clothes have been
washed and spin-dried in a washer, they still contain
about
10
pounds
of
water.
If
these clothes are dried
inside, that water is released into the air in the
RY.
Gas appliances - When gas is burned, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen and water are given off into the air. For every
1000 cubic feet
of
gas burned, nearly
88
pounds
of
water is released into the air.
Humidifiers - Humidifiers are designed to put moisture
into dry air - up to two pounds per hour.
So in a 24-
hour period, an uncontrolled humidifier can
put
almost
50 pounds
of
water into the
air.
House plants alld aquariums - Plants give off almost
as much water
as
you put on them. And open aquari-
ums permit higher rates
of
evaporation than closed
types.
People alld animals - A large source
of
water in the
RV
is the inhabitants themselves. A family
of
four can
put up to
12
pounds
of
water into the air per day
through breathing and perspiration.
As you can see, just the normal course
of
living adds a
great deal
of
water to the
air.
Q. -
What
will all this
water
do
to
my
RV?
A. - The least it will do is fog your windows.
If
it is really
cold outside, frost or even clear ice could form on the
inside
of
the glass.
Excessive moisture in the air could show up as water
running down
or
dripping off walls, ceilings
or
fixtures.
It
may look like your roof or windows are leaking. This
water may stain woodwork, carpeting, ceiling panels or
even furniture.
