I have a Lennox Model G61MPV-06C-090-6 SN# 5905K15989 that is about 6 years old with a 2 stage burner and a variable speed blower motor. I recently added a General Aire Elite Steam Unit Model DS15P. The Thermostat is the new Honeywell Prestige model.
A NATE certified Tech wired the unit in yesterday (good man). Today I went down to check out the Steam Unit and found water running down the outside of the Evaporator housing, leaking out between the seams were the plenum meets the evaporator housing. I opened up the evaporator access panel and found the condensation is forming on the plenum around the steam nozzle (about 10 inches up).
The General Aire DS15P requires 1000 CFM of air to run at 70+% of capacity. The fan is running at about 500CPM (1350 at full speed for heating and cooling modes). The tech who wired the Humidifier and the thermostat told me there is no way he knows to increase the fan speed on this furnace for the Humidifier. He set the humidifier to 60% output. I lowered it to 50% and continue to have condensation, have now lowered it to 30% of capacity and the condensation is less but now humidity level is dropping in house.
I believe the problem is too little CFM.
Question: Is there a way to wire or set dip switches (or both) on the furnace to increase the fan speed when the humidifier calls for steam?
