Indoor air, 70°F, at 30%RH has 32 grains of moisture per pound of air. Outdoor air, 50°F, at 60%RH has 32 grains of moisture per pound of air. Heat that outdoor air to 70°F, and its an RH of 30%. The combustion air source has little to do with the amount of condensation. |

im sure your right but ive never seen a 90+ put anywheres near that amount of water out and as i am from the wash area 50 degrees in winter is like a summer day and id be suprized if the average humidity was above 45% its currently 45 degrees and 48% humid. im sure in ca. its more like 35 % but i certainly cant argue the numbers however if it is a 1 pipe and they have a humidifier than id suspect the inside would be closer to that 60% number

You don't want 60%RH in the house winter or summer.
If you have a 90% in your house. Run your condensate in a 5 gallon bucket. And measure how much you get in 24 hours. Over several days, while checking humidity levels. Many people are suprised how much they get. One day, you might get 2 gallons(furnace didn't run much). 2 days later, you may get 6 gallons(ran a lot). Keep in mind, that most of the efficiency increase of a 90% over an 80%, is from the heat of condensation. So if your not getting much condensate. Its not very efficient, or not running much. |

It isn't a win thing. A coworker of mine years ago, found out the hard way. He ran a drain line to a 1 gallon bucket, on a system until he got back teh next morning. It over flowed during the night. Made a big mess. |

LOL... I decided to plug the pump into my extension cord for the night one time. Went upstairs to tell the customer I'd be back in the morning. Didn't realize, my helper wrapped up the cord while I was up stairs. Ooooops. Crap happens. |
