<p>This is a quick article to show how to calculate the size of dehumidifier needed based on the latent load of a building. This is useful if
|
||||
you’ve done a load calculation and know the latent load of the structure.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Formulas</h2>
|
||||
<p>The formula above is used to solve for the pints per hour required to size a dehumidifier.</p>
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<thead>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<th>Where</th>
|
||||
<th></th>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</thead>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td>Ql</td>
|
||||
<td>Latent load</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td>Ph</td>
|
||||
<td>Pints / hour</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
<p>We can then convert to pints per day by multiplying the answer by 24 hours, below is the combined formula.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="/articles/images/2023-09-15-pints-per-day.png" alt="pints-per-day-formula" /></p>
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<thead>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<th>Where</th>
|
||||
<th></th>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</thead>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td>Ql</td>
|
||||
<td>Latent load</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td>Pd</td>
|
||||
<td>Pints / day</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
<p>In some cases you may want to size the dehumidifier for less than the full latent load, assuming that the air-conditioner (when sized
|
||||
properly) is going to cover the full latent load when at peak design temperatures and that the peak latent period for your area is during
|
||||
peak cooling demand.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Example</h2>
|
||||
<p>Let’s imagine we have done a load calculation and have a latent load of 4,334 BTU/h. So, plugging that into our above formula.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="/articles/images/2023-09-15-pints-per-day-example.png" alt="pints-per-day-formula-example" /></p>
|
||||
<p>Or if we just want to cover the latent capacity at 85% of the full latent load.</p>
|
||||
<p><img src="/articles/images/2023-09-15-pints-per-day-example2.png" alt="pints-per-day-formula-example" /></p>
|
||||
<p>This gives us some guidance that we would need to select a dehumidifier that is rated for 84-99 pints per day, depending on which condition
|
||||
we wanted to use.</p>
|
||||
<p>I don’t feel oversizing a dehumidifier, within reason, is that problematic (or at least it does not come with the same problems as an
|
||||
oversized air conditioner), so I would personally go for a 100-120 pint per day model dehumidifier in this application.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
