Capture Propane Exhaust Humidity

[stickermigtigger@gmai]

I have a 50x50 x20 metal building. Insulated. I live in an RV and in the winter I move the RV indoors.

I need to find a way to capture the propane furnace exhaust moisture before it gets in the garage atmosphere.

I need a method of condensing the exhaust as quickly as possible after it leaves the exhaust port.

Any suggestions for a contraption that will collect the moisture into liquid into a container??

LOL, good luck. No matter what you shouldn't be exhausting combustion products into an enclosed building. That is a good way to commit suicide if things are not drafty enough or not functioning correctly and produce carbon monoxide.

Instead of capturing it you need to direct vent it outside of the building but extending the exhaust in some form or fashion. And that might possibly lead to issues depending on the design of the RV furnace and the size and shape of the extended exhaust flue.

The best solution is to get an oil filled space heater (electric) to heat inside the rv.

Vent the furnace exhaust outdoors or use electric heat.

Can't vent outdoors. Need a solution within a foot or so from the exhaust port.

There is no acceptable solution to vent inside a building, none. In reality the propane apparatus (specifically regulators) shouldn't be used inside a building either.

If you cant vent outside use electric heat

Install a vented heater in your garage and heat the whole thing. Turn the garage into part of your living space. Put a small electric heater or two inside the camper to make it the temp you want.

What you are doing now is potentially dangerous. Hope you have several CO detectors.

Agree to disagree.

Ooookkkaaaaay. Looks like this is a dead end. Thanks for the replies. I'm out.

That was quick. No one was being offensive. Everyone is just pointing out proper and, most importantly, SAFE solutions.

There is no good way to safely do what you want. Sorry….just the way it is.

I don't think the OP was happy with the answers he received. Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow.

Since your shop is insulated. Heat the shop and turn off the RV being it's inside.

The OP doesn't realize the condensation is the least of his problems!

Probably be able to think more clearly if they stepped outside for some fresh air.
