To assess the dehumidification performance of your Aprilaire 1710A, begin by checking for any error codes on the unit. Next, measure the temperature and relative humidity (RH) of the air entering the dehumidifier and compare these to the temperature and RH of the air exiting. Use the graphs provided in your Aprilaire 1710A manual to determine the moisture content of the air at both the inlet and outlet. Then, calculate the difference in moisture content to find out how much moisture the unit is removing. Finally, compare this amount to the performance levels listed in the manual, specifically on page 11. If the inlet air conditions fall outside the specified ranges, or if the dehumidification capacity is significantly lower than expected, it is recommended to contact Aprilaire Technical Support for further assistance. In summary, to verify your Aprilaire 1710A's performance: measure the inlet air temperature and RH, determine the inlet air moisture content using the provided graph, measure the discharge air temperature and RH, determine the discharge air moisture content, subtract the discharge air moisture content from the inlet air moisture content, and compare the result to the performance table in your manual. This will help you determine if your dehumidifier is operating efficiently.
