I have a sun room with a gas heater... My windows fill with condensation when the sun leaves the area. Will this stop the condensation?

this unit is based on cubic feet not square feet it's good for a very small room.

This machine is not big enough for even a very small room. I have it in my bathroom and I am so disappointed in it.

Not knowing the sq ft of your sun room and the RH in it, hard to say if it will stop it completely. But it will help - by pulling out some of the excess moisture there will be less available to condensate on the windows.

It doesn't remove moisture from the air . It warms the air inside and creates air currents which prevent condensation from forming on the steel. Thus preventing rust. Like when you bring a firearm inside in the winter, moisture will form on the steel. This is just the opposite, preventing condensation from happening.

I do not see why not. The sun room would get really hot though. If you have a window I would leave it cracked a little, just in case. The owners manual is on line. I would check to see if the exhaust is something other than hot air and water. When I am outside I do not smell anything. It is almost like exhaust from a dryer. Hot moist air.

Our attic had poor ventilation (almost none).... When the sun hit the snow on the roof, we got water dripping from the ceiling. It appears that when this happens and the attic gets warm.... condensation forms on the inner roof and them drips down. At first, I thought the roof was leaking from the shingle side. The roofer suggested using a gable mount fan with additional venting. If you have high humility in the attic (winter too) then use a combination gable fan thermostat and humidistat. About $50.00 on Amazon.

Personally I would not. If the gas tank starts to run out it can increase the amount of co2 the gas canister releases. This is normally fine if you only leave it on during the day (during photosynthesis) but should be turned off at night. You could end up suffocating your tank over 10 days. You're be better off just turning it off.

1) Don't leave it in the sun, or 2) buy a vented tank: this one is poorly vented. The venting feature leaks gas when the tank is full and vertical regardless of what you do.

Yes it has a back draft damper to stop any back drafting when not in use!!!!! If venting through roof I recommend using a Broan 636 fan-jack, it also has a damper to stop the cold air at the roof line so condensation won't take place. If venting through wall use the Broan 885 wall cap, it has a spring loaded damper and comes with a 4-3 reducer. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!MarkInnovative HYVAC Systems, Inc.

Hi, I'm curious if you were able to solve your condensation issue. I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

I stuck a piece of folded paper/cardboard between the shade and the window (fully closed) and left it there for about 24 hours. With the heat, the shade warped a little just so it cleared the window from hitting it. There was also another area that was hitting. I reinforced the double sided tape and fixed that

your gas tank should be filled after each use so there is no room for condensation or air. This product is to keep gas from souring when left for extended periods of time.Are you sure that condensation is your issue?

I've had this hood and light set up for over a year now and the condensation has built up in there and is causing the the light to not easily work well. I have to wiggle the switch to cause the light to come on fully. I would consider the approach posed by Glen A. Marcus when my light finally goes out. If you decide to go with this option than I would suggest checking it on a regular basis to been sure yours doesn't build up condensation. It does help out to remove the plastic piece and wipe it off regularly if you do experience condensation.

Good day, I ran mine in a 28 ' RV for extra heat. Because it is unvented there is always a concern about low oxygen and excess carbon dioxide in a tight space. I had windows slightly open to vent. I was surprised how much condensation occurred on the windows too. It was nice and quiet. Always beware if the house is tightly wrapped in plastic that you have some ventilation good luck Mike

Since condensation is generally a matter of air temperature and humidity it will probably depend on your climate. I use these in a moderately dry climate and haven't had a problem.

No it would not..... I have radient heat in my whole home. This would stop the heat from rising.

I don't know what you mean by "Condensing unit" I don't remember redading about this term regarding the rundown on the unit. Guess this would be a question for the manufacturer.

Typically condensation occurs when warm moist air hits a cooler surface. So if the unit is in a flush cycle and refills with cold water it could cause condensation much like a toilet tank filling with cold water does. Since the unit is made from plastic it shouldn't matter. Another option may be the seal on the tank is leaking steam. Check to make sure the seal is in place and the unit is fully locked when making steam.

Sta-Bi is an exceptional product. It probably is too expensive to use at each fill up. Keep a can of gas in the garage and fill your tank completely full after each use. Condensation will not occur if you do that.
