Determine the Water Volume

The following chart was created to simplify the procedure necessary to determine the amount of water vapor that is present in a cubic foot of air at various temperature and humidity conditions. The design conditions are based on sea level (14.7 PSIA), and 35¼ pressure dew point.

To use this chart, determine your maximum temperature and humidity condition. (In the event you are between ratings, please round up to the next number present.) Locate the factor that is at the intersection point of these two conditions. Take the CFM rating of the air compressor system that you intend to dehydrate. Multiply the CFM by the factor at the intersection of the proper conditions. The answer you get is the total amount of water in gallons per hour that would be condensed when chilled to 35¼ F
