B. DETERMINING THE STEAM ABSORPTION DISTANCE

NOTE

Visit www.humidity.com to download our Humidification Engineering & Loadsizing Program (H.E.L.P.) to help you calculate the absorption distance.

(1)Injecting steam into the air requires a certain amount of time before the steam is absorbed completely.

(2)In a moving air stream, this time results in the steam moving a fixed distance from the manifold before it is fully absorbed.

(3)Knowing the absorption distance will ensure that steam will not condense on any critical components following the steam distribution area.

(4)The system should be designed to eliminate the possibility of wetting internal components by positioning the manifold in the optimum location and by keeping the absorption distance to a minimum.

(5)The absorption distance can be calculated using the Z ratio. The Z ratio and the following method may be used as a guide to calculate the absorption in various air handlers, and ducts with different conditions. It can be calculated as follows:

(RHah - RHbh) Z = ––––––––––

(100 - RHbh)

RHah = Percentage of relative humidity after humidification. RHbh = Percentage of relative humidity before humidification.

Example 1:

55°F (12.8°C)/ 12% RH - Conditions before humidification.

20 000 CFM (33 980 m3/h)

400 lbs/hr (181 kg/hr) load

Using the H.E.L.P. Software or a psychrometric chart you can find that the humidity conditions after adding 400 lbs/hr (181 kg/h) of steam, are 55°F (12.8°C) 61% rh.

Thus giving:

RHbh = 12%

RHah = 61%

Z= (61 - 12) / (100 - 12) = 0.56
