moisture problems
• Reduces moisture content and mold potential in crawl spaces,
floor joists, flooring, and other support wood
• Circulates air in crawl space
• Removes radon gas
• Automatic operation
• Temperature or humidity activated
• Reduces potential for airborne mold infiltration into home
• Reduces termite potential
The Eliminator Foundation Vent Fan is a motorized fan designed to circulate
fresh air in a home or building crawl space to eliminate cancer-causing radon
gas and reduce moisture that can lead to mold formation and termite infestation.
The Eliminator attaches to virtually any standard foundation vent. It is wired
for automatic operation when the temperature exceeds 50oF. An optional
de-humidistat activates the fan when humidity exceeds the owner-determined
setting (20%–80%) in conjunction with the built-in temperature control. The
temperature control is shielded from the sun to prevent false readings that
could lead to costly operation during cold weather.
With the Eliminator, air changes are
increased dramatically for better moisture removal and
control. The Eliminator can be used to ventilate crawl
spaces without foundation vents. (See excerpt from
residential building code on the back page of this
report.) The Eliminator is designed to be mounted to a
new or existing crawl space vent. An optional, adjustable dehumidistat
can be used to operate the unit at varying
levels of relative humidity. This optional control can
be wired in place of, or in series with, the standard
temperature switch and can operate up to two
Eliminator units.
Note: The de-humidistat is designed to be installed remotely, so it can be
placed in the crawl space where moisture is most likely to accumulate
Radon
Radon is a radioactive gas that is considered to be a health hazard affecting
indoor air quality worldwide. Radon gas is the second most common cause of lung
cancer in the United States. One in fifteen homes in the U.S. has a high level
of radon.
Mold
According to a study by the Mayo Clinic, nearly all chronic sinus infections are
a result of mold. Since up to 40% of the air we breathe in the home can come
from the crawl space, mold in the crawl space means mold in the home. The EPA
recommends to keep humidity levels in the crawl space to 40%–50% to reduce the
likelihood of mold formation.
Moisture
Excess moisture in a crawl space can have serious consequences. Not only can it
lead to mold formation, it also
increases termite potential and can increase the potential for rot in floor
joists, cross members, and sub-flooring. Moisture level in wood should be less
than 20%. In high humidity areas, that number can easily exceed 30%. To maintain
safe moisture levels, experts recommend a plastic moisture barrier on the ground
in combination with a vent fan such as the Eliminator.
With the Eliminator, air changes are increased dramatically for better moisture removal and control. The Eliminator can be used to ventilate crawl spaces without foundation vents. (See excerpt from residential building code on the back page of this report.) The Eliminator is designed to be mounted to a new or existing crawl space vent. It is controlled by a temperature switch which activates the motor at or above 50°F. An optional, adjustable dehumidistat can be used to operate the unit at varying levels of relative humidity. This optional control can be wired in place of, or in series with, the standard temperature switch and can operate up to two Eliminator units.

Code: Section 409 Crawl Space of Family Dwelling Code.
The space between the bottom of the floor joists and the earth under any building (except such space as is occupied by a basement or cellar) shall be provided with ventilation openings through foundation walls or exterior walls. Ventilation openings shall be provided with corrosion-resistant wire mesh, with the least dimension being 1/8 inch (3.2 mm.) The minimum net area of ventilation openings shall not be less than 1 square foot for each 150 square feet of crawl space area. One such ventilating opening shall be within 3 feet of each corner of said building.
Exceptions:
Ventilation opening may be omitted when continuously operated mechanical ventilation is provided at a rate of 1.0 cfm for each 50 square feet of crawl space floor area and ground surface is covered with an approved vapor barrier material.
Power Temp-vent
(The power Temp-vent is a vent & Fan, You must remove you existing vent and just slide this vent fan in)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Essentially a Temp-Vent but with a motor built into the back housing which powers a fan. When on, the fan will pump air out of designated air spaces. It runs on 110 volts and is ideal for moist, damp, humid crawl spaces which need some type of extra ventilation. The fan is strong and can displace about 7200 cubic air space an hour. The size of the unit is designed to fit the average 8" by 16" opening and it does come with clips and mounting hardware to insure a tight fit.
WHERE TO USE IT: Powered Temp-Vent systems are designed for foundations that require a higher rate of airflow and for areas that are difficult to vent. Depending on the model they can move large amounts of air per hour. Designed to run continuously on a low speed, they draw minimal electricity. However, Temp-Vent recommends power vents be fitted with a thermostat and a humidistat to control the operation of the vent.
  To
Specify:To determine the correct number of Power Temp-Vents, use the following formula: 1) Multiply the square feet of the crawl space by the height in feet. This gives the number of cubic feet in the crawl space. 2) Multiply the cubic feet in the crawl space by the number of air changes per hour desired (4-6 is the recommendation). This gives the total number of cubic feet of air that has to be moved per hour to produce the desired number of air changes. 3) Divide this number by either 7,200 or 11,160 — depending on which model is being used — to obtain the number of power vents needed. 4) Install vents to provide air intake on one side of the foundation with the power vents on the other side to create a system of intake and exhaust.
|
De-humidistat Switch: The de-humidistat switch should be hard wired in the worst spot under your crawlspace. Do not install to close to the Foundation vent fan, This will cut the fan off before it dries out the crawlspace. You may us One switch to control up to 2 foundation vent fans.
Noted: These foundation fans may also be controlled by Timer switch.
