Filtering by Tag: humidification
This is mathy, but it’s not anything too difficult for anyone to understand I think. There are lots of nuances and caveats, which I think make the whole thing more interesting! Ideal absolute humidity range is ~35-65 grains per pound.
∆Gr/lb = Inside gr/lb - Outside gr/lb
Gr/hr = ∆Gr/lb x CFM x 4.5
Lb/hr = Gr/hr / 7000
Lb/day = Lb/hr x 24
Gal/day = Lb/day x 0.12
Pints/day = Gal/day x 8
See what the hottest place on Earth (Death Valley, with the world record 134ºF temperature) does to the world's highest performance tiny house on wheels. See proof that our airtightness, insulation, cooling, and ventilation works even where it's not designed to go.
Today Corbett is psyched to again talk with Lew Harriman, the master of dehumidification and author of lots of books on moisture control, about guess what! Lew takes us on a tour of macro-drying philosophy, down to the nitty gritty of ERVs and hairdryers and wet spots on your carpet. Sponsored by Corbett's Fall Fast Track 6-week mastermind course in free market home performance.
