I suspect you need to calibrate the new one.
It makes sense. I do it differently. When I first load up the fridge I am set to 75% with 1% buffer. Each day I lower it by 1% until I reach 60%. I leave it there for as long as I want but I know its ready to bag when my average is consistently 60% without any high spikes.Do you mean the avarage RH of the Inkbird margin is at 60%. I am right now set at 76% but with the cycle being between 64% and 78% my avarage is around 70%. Does this make sense
Hmm. This would likely depend on the size of the dehumidifier and how efficient it is. You'll have to try with just the one and see if you can get the RH lowered enough. I'm curious to know how it works out. Please let us know.
Thanks but there are some folks on here that have already built the larger 35 bottle units. I was looking for their advice based on experience.
I built one of the larger units and found one dehumidifier to suffice.
you can jar or let go for 1 more day then jar
I think that MR Hook Daddy himself has the fan blowing forward, but I think that the fan is then wired the wrong way. I guess it handles the heat since it is in a fridge.
On mine there is no fan on the cold side, which is the side with the pointed metal fins. The fan is on the hot side attached to another Heat sink, and blows away from the TEC, drawing air through the heat sink and pushing it forward and away from the entire unit. This is as it was designed, it is wired as it came with both reds to positive and both blacks to negative.
That is interesting. If I compare my dehumidifier to yours they look the same when taken apart.
I turned mine around. It was just stuck with some pins and hot glue so it was easy to flip it around.
Wow, I’m impressed! How does it work and how are the results so far? Would you mind sharing some detail on how you’ve built it and what components you used etc? I’d love to build one myself
