Ahh, I see you didn't have your drain plugged. There's your leak. Plug it up right, you need to anyways. Otherwise you'll forget.

Re: Starting to have issues with the Vino's RH lately....
The drain is plugged, sorry if I mislead you haha. I have made a troft from the back of the vino ( where its molded to funnel the water to the drain ) into a tray that I have beads in. It just seems that there is too much water settling in the tray... So, I think I'll need a bigger fan in there possibly

I can post some pics if you have questions. I wired the fan in parallel with the fan over the cool plate in the back. |

What kind of temps is it holding. If the unit has to cycle on too often it will cause the moisture to condense faster than the beads can absorb it.

Re: Starting to have issues with the Vino's RH lately....
yeah, Im sure it is running more and more. Its hot here today and has been for the past week, around 99-110. And it is stored in the upstairs. Its not hot where its stored, just a tad hotter than the vinos internal temp. The thing that sucks, is I cant store it anywhere else.

Re: Starting to have issues with the Vino's RH lately....
Hopefully this will be of help to someone.
I've been running my wineador for a week now with 65 beads (drain is plugged). The RH on two hydros read between 45 and 50. It would rise to 60 if I opened the door for a minute. Today I unplugged it. Current RH? 68. That's it. I'm running without power until further notice. |

Re: Starting to have issues with the Vino's RH lately....
Yeah they are tricky. In my experience if your cooler is trying to cool more then 10 degrees below room temp the cooler will be on quite a bit which will dry out the air due to condensation.
So in summer I keep the ac beteen 74 and 77 which means the cooler is 64 to 67. I also use 70% beads which seem to work better here in Sacramento which can be dry in Summer. The condensation will out pace absorption so I have to drain the cloth on the bottom periodically. Obviously not a maintenance free storage method hah. |
