System and method for humidification control with fan delay

A system for humidifying an indoor space, the system comprising:

• an air circulation unit comprising a fan, wherein the air circulation unit is configured to circulate air to the indoor space;
• a water feed valve configured to control water flow from a water source fluidly coupled to the water feed valve;
• a water panel in fluid communication with each of the circulation unit and the water feed valve, wherein the water panel is configured to disperse water within the air circulated by the air circulation unit;
• and
• a controller operably coupled to each of the air circulation unit and the water feed valve, wherein the controller is configured to:
• determine an ambient humidity associated with the indoor space;
• compare the ambient humidity to a humidity threshold;
• change an operational state of the water feed valve in response to the ambient humidity satisfying the humidity threshold;
• determine at least one of a humidity differential or a temperature differential associated with the water panel;
• compare at least one of the humidity differential or the temperature differential to a threshold;
• and
• change an operational state of the air circulation unit response to at least one of the humidity differential or the temperature differential satisfying the threshold.

A method for humidifying an indoor space, the method comprising:

• determining, by a controller, an ambient humidity associated with the indoor space;
• comparing, by the controller, the ambient humidity to a humidity threshold;
• changing, by the controller, an operational state of a water feed valve operably coupled to the controller in response to the ambient humidity satisfying the humidity threshold, wherein the water feed valve is fluidly coupled to a water panel;
• and
• changing, by the controller, an operational state of an air circulation unit operably coupled to the controller a period of time after changing the operational state of the water feed valve.
